Introducing The Gl1 - Canon DM-GL1 Instruction Manual

Introducing the GL1

Digital Video
GL1 conforms to the new digital video D
standard to give you outstanding picture quality.
It is fitted with a DV terminal for digital-to-digital
dubbing (IEEE 1394 standard).
L Series Fluorite 20
Zoom Lens
From wide-angle to 20 telephoto — with
unparalleled optical quality. The digital zoom
magnifies this by five times for even more
dramatic results. Fluorite incorporated into the lens
produces images with high-contrast, true-to-life
color.
3 CCD System with Pixel Shift
Technology
Superb picture quality results from using a larger
light capturing area for each pixel (and fewer
pixels) to give higher sensitivity, higher SN ratio
and a greater dynamic range, and then horizontally
shifting the green CCD to ensure high image
resolution. In addition, you can get stunningly
clear still pictures from video action.
Frame Movie Mode
During playback, pause the video any time you
like to view a crystal clear still image in the
display or on a connected TV screen. It is also
possible to transfer your favorite still pictures to a
PC for image enhancement and printout.
2.5" LCD Screen
An LCD screen makes it easy for
you to shoot colorful, well
composed video. It is also great
for playback.
Optical Image Stabilizer
Canon's optical technology
stabilizes your recordings even in
long telephoto shots.
