Sound
The GL2 is complete with
selectable audio modes; 16
bit and 12 bit. 16 bit, the
highest quality, produces CD
quality, two channel sound on
one track. The 12 bit mode
divides the audio track into
two, recording two channels
on one track while leaving the
remaining track open for post
production audio recording.
Clear Scan
The GL2 can be adjusted to
match the frequency of a CRT
monitor, allowing you to record
it without rolling black bars.
SMPTE Color Bars
The GL2 generates SMPTE
color bars for accurate
matching to your monitor or
edit suite.
Zebra Pattern
Reveal areas of overexposure,
using these diagonal stripes to
guide you when setting the
aperture and shutter speed.
Select from five levels: 80, 85,
90, 95, and 100 %.
Interval Timer
With the interval timer, you
can record for a selected time
with selected interval. This
function is convenient for
nature observation such as
flowers, sunsets, etc. You can
select the interval time from 30
sec, 1 min, 5 min and 10 min,
and the recording time from
0.5 sec, 1 sec, 1.5 sec and 2
sec.
SLR-Style
Flash Photography
Attach a Canon Speedlite E-
TTL flash (420EX or 550EX) to
use the GL2 for flash
photography, just like you
would with an SLR camera.
The camera sets the flash
duration, sending out a pre-
exposure flash to ensure
correct exposure before the
main flash is sent out.
