The 30GB hard drive can hold up to still images in either quality mode, but at Internet-grade quality and size. All manual controls are available in still mode including exposure, shutter speed, gain, etc. PictBridge allows for direct printing from the camcorder when used with a compatible printer that is connected via a USB cable.
We did find some settings to improve image quality. Rather than leave it in auto, lowering the exposure down two notches We test still performance by shooting a Gretag McBeth Color Checker chart and running those stills through Imatest imaging software.
At a setting of The best still resolution came by a manual reduction of the exposure to In this setting, we found a horizontal resolution of The vertical resolution was The oversharpening was heavy and evident to the eye. For a camcorder that is geared toward point-and-shooters, the MG has the potential to pollute its LCD display with unidentified looming icons.
Yes, the MG is compact, easy to transport, and stripped of advanced ports. The LCD-mounted joystick is a joy to navigate with. The camcorder only has two modes: video and camera that are selected via the mode dial.
Most point-and-shooters will be grasping the LCD panel while they are shooting, which means one inadvertent strike on the joystick could alter the backlight compensation, shutter speed, or activate the video light. The icons representing each action are so vague, including a daunting owl that stares ominously at you. This is in manual mode, though. In that sense, yes the MG is a snap to use but only in full auto mode. The GZ-MG handles quite well, despite a construction that feels a bit second-rate.
Assuming you can put aesthetics aside, the controls are well-placed, easy to use, and logically designed to keep the time you spend making adjustments to a minimum. In addition, the camcorder rests comfortably in your hand. The joystick on the LCD frame is another design innovation we like as it places the control and menu interface front and center, right next to the screen. The Function button just below the joystick keeps access to manual controls like white balance and shutter speed quicker than on most consumer camcorders, while more arcane options are left to the Admin menu.
While we like the handling of this and other JVCs the HD7 is a much bigger version that handles even better , there is, of course video performance to consider. That is an area in which the GZ-MG struggles, so consider your options with care. This divided menu strategy is shared by Panasonic and Canon, though each manufacturer takes a somewhat different approach. Sony is the lone company to stick with a single touch screen menu and control interface. The manual control action takes place in the Function menu, accessed with ease by pressing the Func.
That speed can make the difference between getting the shot and missing it as you fumble your way through a menu. The Program AE list is even easier to access. Several other options are available via the joystick when the camcorder is in manual mode: up engages backlight compensation, left engages Night Alive, and down turns on the video light.
Rather than having a simple, text-based list of sub-menus that goes from top to bottom, each item is represented by an icon. Also, the list is designed to loop, so that when you get to the last item and push down on the joystick one more time, you end up back at the top.
In reality, there are only a few sub-menus, but it tricks the beginners every time. The MG is guaranteed to be a hit amongst the most esoterically versed point-and-shooters with a battery endurance of 1 hour and 35 minutes in conjunction with minutes of continuous hard drive capacity.
There are no protruding parts on the MG, as this camcorder is a cheap plastic brick of suburban temptation. The LCD can rotate up to degrees, but solarizes at the slightest angle.
To be honest, the LCD display looks better than the actual recorded footage — which may prove a rude awakening to owners. We have to give props to JVC for their multi-faceted joystick. You can instantly access program AEs, backlight compensation, night shutter speed, and the video light with just one click. For the battery test, we set the camcorder to manual mode and let it record until the battery runs out.
The MG is equipped with a small built-in 2 channel Dolby Digital budget microphone that records 48kHz sound at kbps in ultra fine and fine modes, 48kHz at kbps in normal mode, and 48kHz at kbps in economy mode.
