probably a 30.5mm diameter, look for a measurement that says filter size in the manual

77mm is the size of the outer edge of the front of the camera where the lens adapter will screw onto. you can either buy a lens that fits the 77mm or buy a different lens and buy adapter rings...

30.5 mm in your case, but for future reference look at the number thats right after the circle with a slash through it

Noooooo wrong. The only camera I can think of with a 77mm thread is the Sony EX series.

By the way, OP, "JVC Everio" isn't the type of camera you have, it's the model/run type. There a bagillion cameras labelled by JVC as "Everio" - your camera has a further model description.
