Thank you for the explanation of how the AWB offset works. Had the GY-HM200 for a couple of years, and played with that function a bit when I got the camera, but didn't really understand it. Looking forward to getting better, more accurate, colors in the future.
No problem. Hope it helps.
Coming from a DSLR while I understand the concepts a camcorder was a bit foreign to me. You answered all my questions and helped me get my camera setup the way I needed. Thanks!!
Wow. I'm glad to hear that. Happy it was helpful.
Thank you for the video ..had no idea i could do that !
You're very welcome. I'm glad it was helpful.
Thanks Michael, I like to update my firmware
Nicely done. Thank you for your efforts.
You're welcome
Hello Michael, my name is Luis Gonzalez, my English is very bad, sorry. Excellent explanation of Focus and WB... I'm new with a camera in hand, but I've been doing a sport fishing program "Secretos de Pesca" for 15 years, many exteriors, sea, sun, navigation, movements and more. I have many doubts, ISO, Shuter, Gain... I have searched for days for serious and professional information and you are the most serious thing I found. I subscribed and I need to know everything I need to do a decent job... thanks for your attention.
Thanks for saying that. I'm to help.
Thank you Michael! I have been trying to figure out how to set the Kelvin temp manually for years! So "Preset Temp" is the equivalent of going to "K" within the White Balance options on my Sony A7iii.
It's similar, but then it lets you toggle between two Kelvin values that you choose beforehand.
@@MichaelWTurner Oh! Super cool! Set two values, then toggle between them with User 9 - WB button. Thanks!
Excellent!
Thanks for the comment and the sub!!!
Very helpful! Thanks
No problem. I'm glad it was helpful :) Do you own one of the JVC cameras?
I do! I own the JVC LS-300 and I'm very happy with it, but since I got you here - The whole EF to MFT adapter thing is driving me nuts. So difficult to get a good answer. Are there any adapters out there that works 100%? Or is the Kipon one still the closest we've come to a good working one? Like you say in your video on the subject, You don't use AF that often and neither do I. But it's still a nice feature to have. Do you know if there are any updates in this debate, do you still use the Kipon and have you tried any other adapters?
Keep up the good work on the channel!
I still use the kippon. As far as I know, it's still the best option. I'll make a quick vid about your question because I have a little more info to share that may be helpful to others
Wow, that'd be great! Thank you for the reply

Thank you. Just got a 200.
You're welcome 😀
Hi I would like to know how clear the standby and the A on my screen JVC Gy-HM 200? Thanks
I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If you are talking about clearing the LCD screen so there is no information on it, click the display button a few times
Obrigado. Excelente.
That was such a very good and informative video and comparison of the two "almost similar" JVC basic 4K UHD camcorders !!!!
*- How you can compare "JVC HM-200" to the "Canon XA10 or XA20" ??*
*- Which camcorder possibly you will choose for yourself to have for usage it by yourself ??*
I am owner of that Canon XA10 for a while.
- For any changes in set-ups and manipulation, you have to go through ugly touch screen of the LCD display. It is a hilarious time consuming procedure, to go EVERY TIME from main Menu, through all the branches of so many sub-menus to find the function which one you want to adjust. It is a very much complicated, inconvenient and very much time consuming procedure !!!!
- - Canon XA10 & 20 camcorders they have no physical buttons or rings on the lens, dedicated or assigned to the basic and the most usable functions of this video camera like: WB, iris, focus, Gain, manual zoom, etc.
- - - At least, going through the branches of so many sub-menus of Canon XA10, you can bring on the LCD screen: Waveform Monitor / Histogram & Vectroscope !!!
- - - - Moreover, when you are shooting in strong sunlight ... the screen is less visible. So the whole process to change something on the touch LCD screen, is also a big time challenging and also a time consuming adventure.
Beside this Canon XA-10, also I own these funny video cameras:
1. JVC GZ-HM35BU ... UHD camcorder, I have purchased from the second hand store
2. JVC GZ-HD5U ... (3 CCD - HD), I received as a gift from my fellow friend
3. JVC GC-XA1BU ... Wi-Fi action camera, I have also purchased from the second hand store
- - - - - Sir ... you can believe me or not, but even if I have my own "Canon" XA10, mostly I am using these JVC made little video cameras for my video productions. I like them more, for some convenient reasons.
- - - - - - One of so many reasons, why I prefer shooting with JVC camcorders, is the overall much better quality of the recorded picture and sound. Recordings from JVC are better colour saturated (warm), they appear richer in detail and more beautifully colorful. They're look kinda ~juicy~ & brighter especially on sunshine day !!!!
- - - - - - - Instead, from Canon XA10 camcorder, recordings are less saturated and colours are more bluish mixed with the gray (cool & frosty) !! The best simple difference between recordings with JVC & Canon, is possible to observe using your eyes, when you are looking at the same green grass and colorful flowers of being shoot simultaneously under the same lighting condition.
- - - - - - - - JVC camcorders are responding much better with colour reception than Canons. !!!! For Canon video camera recordings I have to later always use colour correction software, while I am editing them together. It is a time & effort consuming unwanted procedure !!!!
I am looking forward to possibly sell my XA-10 and to buy similar or even a bit better JVC 4K Ultra HD camcorder for a reason of unification of my video equipment. From your professional experience, which model of JVC camcorder you would suggest me to purchase, to replace my Canon XA10 ?? Sir, any idea ?? Please, respond !!!! Thank you so much. Have a great day :o)
Sincerely,
Remi

I would have to say the JVC 170U/ 180u or hm200... whichever you can get your hands on for a good price. They are all pretty much the same except that hm200 has streaming capabilities...I think 🤔. It seems like you are usually shooting in good lighting conditions, so they will do well. They really suffer in low light though, but I imagine the xa10 is the same in that regard. For shooting live events the jvc cams I mentioned are setup in a way to allow you to work very quickly. Lots of buttons and switches in logical places
@@MichaelWTurner < *Thank you very much Michael for your words. I appreciate it very much !!!! Actually, XA10 is very good with very low lighting condition. I can work with light from matches .... in extreme situation. I will collect some money and will buy GY-200 model - not puting on sale so far my Canon XA10, for having on board Vectroscope, Waveform Monitor & Histogram available on it through the menus & sub-menus. Take a good care about yourself bro. Thanks !!!!*
@@MichaelWTurner Right now they are JVC GY-HM250U .... three versions !!!!
I'm using a Jvc HM17OuU with a sling studio, using the hdmi out. now I have 4 ---- on the top of the screen and an A on the bottom. How do I remove them so I can have a clean screen? Can you please help me...
Try main menu > av set>video set and try shutting display on tv off
Michael I've been lucky. My 300 has not had the issue with the screen being lose. It actually has been a great work horse for me. Just really getting into all the setting now. How often do you use 709 setting?
Pretty much all the time. I just make adjustments to the settings to fine tune it to my liking. With these cameras, you really don't need to color grade. You can really tweak the image how you want in camera. Which do you like to use?
Good Day Michael I wanted to know how to Live Stream our Church Service with my GY-HM200, also the the type of dongle to purchase.
I answered your question when you asked on a separate vid
Hi, I am watching your instructions but I don't understand how to switch the camera when u you are in preset temp. Can you tell me please how can I do it, please?
Thank you!!!
Once you set the presets you toggle back and forth using the AWB button. Don't own the camera anymore but it should be in front by the lens
I am also concerned with the JVC GYHM200 exposure settings. First, what does it mean when in the viewfinder there are ND settings that flash. Does it mean the camcorder is recommending I use that setting? Does it mean that setting is my only choice? Also, it appears that the aperture has a limited range of F-stops from maybe F1.2 or 1.7 to F6.3. Should I be able to get something like F8 or F11 to get greater depth of field? Fortunately, I have learned how to set the exposure using one of the turning rings on the lens barrel.
I am also concerned with the JVC GYHM200 white balance system. If I know that sunset is about 3500 K degrees, do I set the camera at that? I did just that, but the golden prairie plants in the field turned out blue. Do you think it better to rely on the auto white balance? I did read your tutorial about white paint, but that might be tedious to do in the field.
Hi, question? When you say 'switch' to my camera, what button you use to switch? or what do you to when you say switch? Sorry, but I don't understand that part of the video. I am talking about the AWB minute 6:36. Thank you and appreciate it...
the white balance switch on the left side of the camera. It's beside the gain switch. Set to PRST
hey Michael-
Discovered this video 2 years late, but should you still be answereing questions... I have the LS-300 and can't access the preset WB or Alternate White balance settings. Just a blank line appears no matter what my settings are. Advice? Thanks.
You have to move the switch prst to access the settings in the menu. It took me a while to figure out what you mean, but that should fix it
You are awesome bro! Which extended battery do you use for JVC gy-ls300?
thanks! i use this amzn.to/2R9Ykp5 it's really good. I've had it for years
How to blur background on this camera?
Back up and zoom in. Your background needs to be further away from your subject too
TNX!!
franswa Vergucht You're welcome.
Thank you for your videos. I have the JVC GYHM200. I find it hard to get sharp focus on a shoot, say of an Iowa cornfield where it is a wide open scene left to right and into the distance. (BTW, I do know the value of having some foreground imagery to frame the shot). Not so hard to focus if there is a tractor or other machinery at work so that I can use autofocus on it. But if I want to show the beauty of the field without machinery, the resulting footage often is not sharp. It seems that what works best is to use manual focus, turning the focus ring, (maybe temporarily overexposing the scene in order to focus then returning to the exposure I want), and judging the focus in the monitor. But I also wonder about the value of utilizing the "infinity" setting. Is it helpful to rely on the "infinity" setting. It is better to rely on what I see in the monitor?
I would use manual focus and use a combination of focus peaking and/or the magnification tool to focus on the furthest point. Also if you leave the iris wide open, the picture will not be sharp. You have to close it down. Try f4.6 - f8
Thanks. I did a little research and understand that the magnification tool may actually be an extra accessory to order. But I am wondering if the JVC GYHM200 has built in focus peaking feature.
@@gunderfriend No need to buy anything. What I mentioned is built into the camera. if you are interested in a consult let me know, my contact info is in the about section of my channel. It seems like you have a lot of questions
@@MichaelWTurnerThanks Michael. I understand the appropriateness of your suggestion that I arrange a consultation and will look at your contact information later today.
how to display to tv from camera to hdmi settings jake.
I no longer own this camera, but if you are plugging through hdmi and it isn't displaying, then go into the menu and enable it. I don't recall there being a trick to it
Yes, you pronounce my name correct it’s a Yoruba name from Nigeria, I do not know the 3 bottoms you reference. I not sure if I have to update the firmware of my JVC-GYHM200.
Olusegun Odusanya Do you mean buttons?
Good morning Michael
Your video was helpful, I don't know if have video how to update firmware.
Olusegun Odusanya Hi. I understand that but why exactly? But what buttons are you talking about? What are they called and where exactly are you trying to find them?
Hi Mr. Michael Turner, My Camera is JVC GY HM200 U, I just install firmware to my System information is Version #0313-0230 Fan Hour: 295. Video on the new Firmware what is the different in the menu system with JVC GY HM300
It is me again how to set the ISO on my JVC GY HM200U
Hi Michael. Found your video 2 years late. On my LS-300 I can't access preset or alternate white balance setting. They are always a blank line. Advice?
Thanks.
You have to move the switch prst to access the settings in the menu. It took me a while to figure out what you mean, but that should fix it
Hello, could you explain the "FAW Paint" setting? Manual is a bit confusing, thanks.
It's pretty much the same thing as AWB Paint except it works when you have your white Balance preset(PRST Switch) to FAW. FAW is Full Auto White Balance. So if you were using this preset your camera would change the white balance automatically depending on the color of the lighting in the scene. The FAW PAint will allow you tweak the color of the white balance adding or subtracting blue or red the same way AWB paint works. Also if you were to set your camera to shoot in Full Auto mode it would also pull from the paint modification that you made.
I want to known about manual button
Are you talking the 170u or ls300? And are you referring to the button that is under the lens mount?
Man i have the HM200 and I can't figure out why the footage is so grainy. I'm normally in the DSLR world (Sony A7iii) but acquired this camcorder and wanted to see if you could use it. If i can't get the quality to look clear an not so grainy, it may do me some good. Any suggestions on how to get the quality up to par with even my cheapest DSLR?
It won't come close to producing that kind of quality. You have to use a lot of light with that camera to produce nice images. Once you go beyond 12db of gain the picture falls apart. If you are only creating 1080p videos, you can try shooting in 4k and down scaling. That should help a little. Years ago, I made a video about why I sold my jvc 170u th-cam.com/video/d3jv9ejM8ks/w-d-xo.html
Hey brother, is there a way to shoot a continuous shot in one single clip? The LS300 splits my clip and I have to work on individual clips to work on chroma key.
System>record set> 4gb spanning. That's your problem. Turn it off
@@MichaelWTurner thank you so much for your kind help! You have been a great help and blessing to me!! I request you to do a video on audio settings on LS300 and how to external mic, aux, etc. Once again thank you so much Michael!
@@FrancisKaiser73 made a cid about the aux port for the 170u. It will apply to the ls300 th-cam.com/video/hf_thkdvwvQ/w-d-xo.html
Mr. Turner, thank you! I just bought the jvc 170. This is my first time with a camera that has so many professional settings on it. I am trying to learn everything I need, to make my next 3 low-budget movies. I'm half-way there. If someone wanted to hire you to help shoot a low-budget film in the years to come, how do they get in touch with you- How far do you live from Charlotte, NC? Thank you for your youtube work.
Good luck with your films. I live in NY. You can visit my website. There are multiple ways to contact me there.
By the way, it's interesting that you chose this camera to do film work. What kind of film are you shooting?
I do low-budget inde feature films; action/comedy, superhero, suspense. You can look at my youtube channel to see the commercials (Johari Nichols). Those 3 movies were shot with a consumer 720p, and 1080p camera; the controls are set in those cameras. I chose the JVC believing that... If I had a camera that lets me change the frame rate that would give my movies more of a "film" look versus a hi-def video look. I guess I'm finna find out next year.
Assuming that you know a little more about video cameras than I... any advice you would give a guy like me who shoots his own feature films? The biggest criticism inde-filmmakers get is "the look" of the movie. I know they make resolution as high as 8k without getting into 35mm film. I figured shooting on a 4k cinematic camera like this would give fans "the film" look they really want from me. As of right now I don't see the need to go any higher in resolution- not for what I do. Thanks!
I answered with a video th-cam.com/video/zq7CfqnIu4k/w-d-xo.html
For some reason I am unable to change the preset temp even when it is selected. Do you know by chance why that could be?
I'm not sure what you mean. When preset is toggled, are you pressing the white balance button in front of the camera to toggle the white balance? It's the AWB button.

Hey, I also bought JVC HM 170U. Can you shoot with a flat picture profile, so u can add colors and adjust it in post?
I'm not sure if the 170u comes with J-Log, but if it did it would be under Menu>Camera Process>Gamma
@@MichaelWTurner thanks
@@hamzamalik8988 You're welcome. Was it there?
@@MichaelWTurner didn't really check. I received the camera today and was exploring it's other functions. Another question please since you used it quite often. Does it have ISO or is it mentioned as Gain in this camcorder which is low,med,high. Actually works the same way, so want to make sure
Do you have any suggestions on how to lower the recording bit rate in HD? I can't seem to find it anywhere? I am now at about 8 and want to reduce my file sizes
The lowest is AVCHD in HD and I believe it is 28mbps. 8mbps is actually SD and would be the lowest I believe. If you don't see it in system>record set... then most likely you can't do it.
Hi, I just got the JVC 250 for live streaming. I’m having a hard time getting the lens hood on, does it need to “click” into place? I don’t want to turn it too hard since it’s plastic!
Yes it clicks into place. You should put it on vertically and twist clockwise if you know what I mean.
Michael Turner wow, that worked. Thanks, that’s strange.🤔
