The GZ-HM400 features a 10 megapixel resolution (it can also shoot 9 megapixel still images) and can capture slow motion video at 120, 300, and 600 frames per second—enough to draw out those action shots into epic masterpieces.

The GZ-HM400 features 32 GB of built-in flash memory for storage, and can also store and offload to SD/SDHC cards. The camera sports a Konica Minolta HD lens, shoots at up to 1080i resolution at 24 frames per second in AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) format, and offers a 2.8-inch swing-out LCD viewfinder for framing shots. The camera has a mini HDMI output for hooking up to a big screen, and long with USB 2.0 connectivity, a mic input for connecting up a separate microphone. Aimed at consumers, the camera also features one-touch controls to push content to either iTunes or YouTube.

The GZ-HM400 is available now for a suggested retail price of $999.95.

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."
