Vari-angle Prism

Incorporating precision optics, superior
digital processing, and a sleek innova­tive design, the Canon GL2 offers reli­able professional performance. Offering
the highest level of control, the camera
fully compliments one's vision and pas­sion for excellence. Its advanced fea­ture set allows users to handle even
the most challenging tasks with confi­dence and ease.

Fluorite delivers the ultimate clarity and image quality. The
Fluorite element inside of the lens defeats color aberration - the
effect when components of light stray from one another within a
lens, causing a reduction in sharpness, contrast and color. Our
Fluorite lens precisely controls components
of light providing an excellent balance of
these three critical ingredients of
picture quality. This is
unobtainable with conventional
optical glass.

Achieve Super High Resolution in Video
and Still Image Recording

3CCD

The GL2 maximizes the capability of the DV format by using a 3
CCD system assigning a separate CCD to each primary color
(red, green, blue). A beam-splitting prism precisely separates the
light passing through the lens into individual color components,
and each is sent to its own CCD. This process achieves
outstanding detail with highly accurate color reproduction
suitable for the demands of the
high-end production field - wide
dynamic range, low color noise,
natural color resolution and low
aliasing.

Pixel Shift

Canon solves common shooting dilemmas by using a signal
processing technique called Pixel Shift, which has been used in
professional grade video cameras for many years. It achieves
wider dynamic range, reduced vertical smearing and sharper
digital still images.

The green component of a video signal contains 60% of the
picture detail, and the red and blue components comprise only
40%. The green CCD in the GL2 is shifted vertically and
horizontally the equivalent distance of 1/2 pixel from the red and
blue CCD. The green signal is then sampled more frequently to
extract the maximum picture detail from the video signal. This
allows the GL2 to achieve resolution equal to camcorders with
nearly twice as many pixels in video recording.

Optical Image Stabilizer

Canon’s superb optical stabilization system corrects camera
shake instantly so even hand-held shots, at full telephoto, and
shots taken from a moving car, are smooth and steady.
And since it is optical, there is no loss of image quality
inevitable with electronic image stabilizers. It perfectly
complements the high picture quality of the DV format.

20x Zoom Lens with 100x Digital Zoom

The GL2 incorporates a 20x Professional L-Series Fluorite optical
zoom lens which transforms distant subjects into dramatic close­ups. The 20x optical zoom is the 35mm focal length equivalent of

39.5 to 790mm. 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
79,000mm. Add the optional WD-58H Wide-converter to
increase the field of view by 0.7x for indoor shots or panoramic
views.

Professional L-Series Fluorite Lens

Canon has satisfied the demands of experienced image makers
for years through the power, design and quality of 35mm and
broadcast TV lenses. Our Professional L-Series lenses utilize
Fluorite, a material which provides outstanding resolution,
contrast and color reproduction, especially in lightweight, high­magnification lenses. Now incorporated into the lens on the GL2,

The Ultimate In

16:9 Aspect Ratio

The GL2 is equipped with two 16:9 aspect ratio methods.

16:9 Guides

The 16:9 guides are thin white lines, which appear in the display
only. They let you view a 16:9 wide screen composition while in
the standard 4:3 aspect ratio, which is especially helpful if you're
planning to transfer your DV footage to film.

16:9 Recording Mode

The GL2 includes a 16:9 recording mode, which applies an
electronic anamorphic stretch allowing you to fill the frame of a
16:9 wide screen TV.

3 Shooting Modes

The GL2 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 GL2
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
(1.7 Megapixel High Resolution Photos)

The GL2 features newly developed image processing, for
capturing crisp, high-definition photos. Images may be captured
in a choice of different image qualities and compression sizes to

suit your needs. Capture up to 10
stunning 1.7 megapixel (1488 X
1128 pixel) images onto the
included 8MB SD Memory Card.
Images may be also captured at
VGA (640 X 480 pixel) in standard
or fine compression. For added
flexibility, you may take up to 700
still pictures on a Mini DV single
tape (in SP mode). 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 recorded tape for your
photos using the supplied remote control.

Frame Movie Mode

This mode captures video in a unique non-interlaced method
allowing the GL2 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, video for website content, or even
sending emotionally charged images over the internet. The non­interlaced method has even been acknowledged by users for its
cinematic-like appearance.

High Performance

DV format

Whether your need is broadcast production or simply the very
best picture quality, the Mini DV format delivers more than 500
lines of horizontal resolution – nearly a 25% improvement in
picture quality over the best analog formats. The tape formulation
is advanced to last longer and even withstand repeated use
without failure, virtually eliminating drop out,
delivering higher output and less noise.

USB Terminal*

Allows high speed transfer of
memory card data to computers
mounting the USB terminal. By using
the USB cable and software
provided, you can process and
organize still images on your PC. The
camcorder functions as a memory
card reader/writer. Bundled software:
ZoomBrowser EX (Windows) /
ImageBrowser (Macintosh). You can easily download, browse,
archive and retouch still images. Automatically resize images and
attach them to e-mail, arrange them for printing, and add text
anywhere on the page.

.

IEEE1394 DV Terminal

The GL2 is equipped with a DV IN/OUT terminal
that conforms to IEEE1394. It takes just a single
digital cable to transfer or copy your videos in pure
digital form to your DV compatible computer or another Canon
DV camcorder. Once you’ve transferred video images to your
computer, you can edit your movies, stream then over the
Internet, or post them on your Web site. Also, you can print them
out on a Canon color printer, transfer them back to your Canon
camcorder and archive them on a Mini DV cassette, or create a
dubbing master.

SD Memory Card and MultiMediaCard*

The GL2 expand video possibilities by using an SD (Secure
Digital) Memory Card or a MultiMediaCard in addition to a Mini
DV cassette. These ultra-small and ultra-light media record, store
and manage still images, as well as allow easy transfer of still
images to a PC with the camcorder. You can add a title made by
yourself on the currently recording image on the cassette.

*An 8MB SD Memory Card is supplied with the camcorder.

Gain Control

As well as automatic gain, the GL2 has settings for: 0dB, +6dB,
+12dB, +18dB* for creative control in any shooting condition.

*card camera mode: 0dB, +6dB, +12dB

Taken To a Higher Level

White Balance

White Balance can be set for Automatic, preset Indoors, preset
Outdoors for any lighting condition.

AE Shift/AE Lock

By adjusting the AE Shift Control you can lighten or darken the
image to precisely control the exposure level of the Program AE
modes. In difficult lighting conditions, AE Lock allows you to lock
exposure at the current level to control the brightness of the
image.

Programmed AE

Puts advanced recording techniques at your fingertips to ensure
great results in various shooting conditions. There are
six programs in all, giving you the balanced control
that you have come to expect from Canon.

Full Auto

Also called the “Green Zone”. This is the ideal selection for
general shooting.

Auto mode

Similar to Full Auto, Auto handles all camera settings
automatically, but also allows the user to select manual functions
(focus, exposure, white balance, for
example).

Manual Mode

If you want to make all the decisions, this is
the mode to use. Select your own
combination of shutter speed, aperture and
gain.

Spotlight

Designed to be used when subjects are
illuminated by intense light sources, such as
under spotlights on a dark stage. This mode
is designed to prevent the subject from
being grossly over-exposed, against a dark
background.

Sand & Snow

This program is designed to prevent a dark,
under-exposed subject when shooting in
places with bright backgrounds, such as a
sunny beach or ski resort.

Shutter-priority/Aperture-priority (Tv/Av)

The Tv and Av modes permit easy operation while retaining the
creative image controls commonly found on Canon's 35mm SLR
cameras. In the TV mode, select a shutter speed from 1/8 to
1/15,000* of a second and the GL2 will automatically set a
matching aperture. In the AV mode, select an aperture from f/ 1.6
to f/8** and the GL2 automatically sets a matching shutter speed.

Analog Line-In

For instant editing,
simply connect your
TV, VCR, or analog
camcorder to the
GL2 and send the
analog signal
directly to your computer's
IEEE1394 terminal*, without
recording to tape. If you
choose, you may first record
the analog signal to DV tape,
allowing you to create a high­quality master of your original.

* The Analog-Digital Converter may not

function depending on the software used.

DV Control

You can control the record
and pause of equipment that
conforms to the AV/C protocol
connected to the GL2 using
the DV terminal. For example,
