Frequently Asked Questions - Everio GZ-MG27 JVC
How can I transfer videos from the camcorder to my computer?
Connect the camcorder to your computer using the USB cable. The camcorder should appear as an external drive. Copy the video files from the DCIM folder (for stills) or the VIDEO folder (for motion). You may need to convert the MPEG-2 files for editing.
How do I format the built-in hard drive?
Go to Menu > Media Settings > Format. Confirm the action. Note that this will erase all data on the drive. It is recommended to backup important files first.
What type of battery does the Everio GZ-MG27 use?
It uses the JVC BN-VF808U rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Alternatively, compatible third-party batteries are available. Always use the specified charger.
Can I record directly to an SD card?
No, this model records exclusively to the internal hard disk drive (30 GB). There is no SD card slot for recording, but you can copy files to an SD card via a computer.
How do I reset the camcorder if it freezes?
Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adapter. Wait about 30 seconds, then reconnect the power source. If the issue persists, try a factory reset via Menu > System Settings > Reset.
What is the maximum recording time on a full battery?
With a fully charged BN-VF808U battery, you can record approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes of continuous video. Actual time may vary based on usage and settings.
How do I enable the image stabilizer?
Press the Menu button, navigate to Recording Mode > Image Stabilizer, and set it to On. Note that it may reduce the effective zoom range.
Can I use the camcorder while charging?
Yes, you can record while connected to the AC adapter. However, doing so may slightly increase heat generation and reduce battery charging speed.
Why is my video playback pixelated or blocky?
This usually occurs due to low recording quality settings or low light conditions. Select a higher recording quality (e.g., XP mode) and ensure adequate lighting. Also clean the lens.
What do the indicator lights mean?
The power/charge indicator glows green when on, orange when charging, and blinks slowly when in standby. The access indicator flashes during recording or file transfer. Consult manual for detailed blink patterns.
