Creativity Zebra Pattern Reveal areas of overexposure, using these diagonal stripes to guide you when setting the aperture and shutter speed. PCM Digital Stereo Sound The GL1 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. Direction Accurate Microphone This newly developed microphone incorporates two pairs of pick-up elements each for left and right. This arrangement realizes a superior directional ability and fuller, richer stereo sound that simply must be heard to be believed. Front L1 R1 Full Manual Operation In addition to being fully automatic, the GL1 offers a complete range of manual controls, ideal for challenging situations and more creative recording. Focus, exposure, white balance and shutter speed can all be set manually. Digital Effects The GL1 includes a selection of digital effects for a more appealing look and greater imaging variety. 1 Fader Use the fader to start or end scenes with a fade to or from black. 2 Effects Give variety to your images during recording by adding Black and White, Slim, Stretch or Strobe motion. A/V Insert and Audio Dubbing Use this feature to insert new scenes of video from your VCR or other camcorder on to a tape recorded in the SP mode. Using a recording made in the 12 bit audio mode you can also add stereo sound from another audio source or through the internal or an external microphone. Picture Adjustment 1. Camera Sharpness Adjust the range of picture sharpness to your preference before recording. Softer may compliment the subject while sharper will make details more visible. 2. Color Phase Adjust the color tone towards red or green to your liking. 3. AE Shift Gives you control over how dark or light the camera sets the auto exposure level. One Touch Dubbing The GL1 includes an easy to use dubbing function for making great copies of your original recordings.
