The following accessories (provided with
GR-DV5000 only) have been designed to be
attached onto the Info-Shoe of the camcorder and
the power is supplied via the Info-Shoe.
Video Light: Enables you to shoot motion video or
still images under low light by continuous lighting.
Stereo Microphone: Enables you to record various
types of sound by changing the microphone’s
directivity.
NOTE:
It is not possible to use the built-in flash when the
Video Light or Stereo Microphone (provided with
GR-DV5000 only) is attached to the Info-Shoe.
To Attach The Accessories
Both accessories are attached in the same way. The
following procedure is for the Video Light as an
example.
Be sure to turn off the camcorder and accessory
before attaching or removing the accessory.
1 Slide the Video Light into the Info-Shoe in the
direction of the arrow marked on the bottom of
the Video Light’s foot.
2 Turn the lock ring
clockwise to lock the
Video Light securely.
To remove the accessories...
Turn the lock ring counterclockwise to loosen it,
then slide off the accessory from the Info-Shoe.
NOTES:

accessory that is attached to the Info-Shoe.
● Be careful with the accessory attached to the Info-
Shoe when carrying the camcorder.
To Use The Video Light

Set the switch on the Video Light.
OFF: Does not light.
ON: Lights always.
AUTO: Lights when the ambient light drops to a
certain level.

SNAPSHOT to shoot an image.
NOTES:
● Even when the switch of the Video Light is set to
“AUTO”, it does not light during Night-Scope
mode. (੬ pg. 42)
● Using the Video light consumes more power than
shooting without the Video Light and reduces the
operating time. It is recommended to use the AC
Power Adapter/Charger for indoor shooting.
● The Video Light does not light unless the
camcorder is turned on.
● When the bulb of the Video Light blows, please
consult your nearest JVC dealer.
To Use The Stereo Microphone

Set the stereo angle selector switch on the Stereo
Microphone.
Setting examples:
0° to 90°: To record sound that is coming from a
single point.
90°: To record sound that feels less expansive in
scope (such as the sound of birds or musical
instruments).
90° to 120°: To record sound that feels more
expansive in scope (such as the sound of trains,
aircraft and fireworks).
2 Press the Recording Start/Stop Button to shoot an
image.
NOTES:
● Do not apply a strong impact to the Stereo
Microphone by dropping or hitting it.
● If the contact of the terminals on the Info-Shoe and
the foot of the Stereo Microphone is not sufficient,
sound from the attached Stereo Microphone may
not be recorded. It is recommended to try a test
shooting to ensure that the recording is performed
properly before valuable recording.
