Shooting Modes - Canon GL1 Brochure

Professional Picture Quality
20x Zoom Lens with
100x Digital Zoom
The GL1 incorporates a 20x
Professional L-Series Fluorite
optical zoom lens which
transforms distant subjects
into dramatic close-ups. The
20x optical zoom is the 35mm
focal length equivalent of 40 to
806mm. The digital zoom,
capable of extending to 40x
and a maximum of 100x,
provides sharper detail
compared to others thanks to
Canon's superior lens quality.
You'll reveal details too distant
to be seen with just the eye
alone. At full telephoto the
35mm focal length equivalent
is an amazing 80,600mm.
Add the optional WD-58 Wide-
converter to increase the field
of view by 0.7x for indoor
shots or panoramic views.

3 Shooting Modes

The GL1 has three shooting
modes to accommodate any
of your recording needs.
Normal Movie Mode
By merging Canon's superior
lens quality with 3 CCDs, the
GL1 delivers stunning
resolution and color
reproduction - some of the
best images outside of a TV
studio. This mode records
video in the standard
interlaced fashion similar to
conventional camcorders.
Normal Movie Mode is ideal
for recording video which
appears smooth and natural
during playback on a TV or
video editing computer.
Digital Photo Mode with
self timer
Take almost 700 brilliantly
clear still pictures on a single
tape (in SP mode). The photo
mode further distinguishes the
GL1 by capturing extremely
high resolution still images.
The camera records the still
pictures for approximately 6
seconds, as well as recording
the sound for your verbal
notes or narration. You can
search through the tape for
your photos using the supplied
remote control.
Frame Movie Mode
This mode captures video in a
unique non-interlaced method
allowing the GL1 to record 30
frames of video per second.
Similar to a motor drive on a
35mm camera, Frame Movie
Mode performs like a Digital
Motor Drive. You'll capture
every gesture and expression
of your subject with
spectacular clarity. It's perfect
for users who choose to grab
high quality still images from
video for making prints,
website content, or even
sending emotionally charged
images over the internet. The
non-interlaced method
popularized by Canon's XL1
has even been acknowledged
by users for its cinematic-like
appearance.
IEEE 1394
DV Terminal
The GL1 is equipped with a
DV In/Out terminal that
conforms to IEEE1394. It
takes just a single digital video
cable to transfer or copy your
videos in pure digital form to
your DV compatible computer
or another Canon DV
camcorder. By transferring
images and sound to a DV
compatible computer,
including Macintosh or PC
platforms, users can explore
the possibilities of visual
computing. This includes
editing video or enhancing still
images with today's popular
software programs,
developing website content,
video streaming via the
internet or simply printing
images, for example, on any of
Canon's color Bubble
Jet computer printers.
Flexible LCD View
Screen and Color
Viewfinder
The 2.5" view screen makes it
easier to compose sensational
shots from any angle. It
swivels and flips for maximum
handling comfort and
flexibility. It also tucks neatly
away when bright shooting
conditions make the eyecup
viewfinder the
preferred way to
shoot.
