Incorporates a 20x Professional L-Series Fluorite optical zoom lens, which transforms distant subjects into dramatic close-ups
20x optical zoom is the 35 mm focal length equivalent of 39.5 -- 790 mm
Optional WD-58 Widewide-converter to increase the field of view by 30%
Digital zoom, capable of extending to 40x and a maximum of 100x, provides sharper detail
Uses Pixel Shift, a signal processing method used in broadcast TV cameras, to exceed the overall picture quality
Super High Resolution and Super Low Light
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
Three shooting modes are offered from standard recording to digital stills to the specialized frame-by-frame
Normal Movie Mode is similar to that of conventional camcorders, in combination with the GL2's other features -- including superior lens quality and three CCDs -- the results are stunning both in terms of resolution and color reproduction
Frame Movie Mode video is captured by the GL2 in a non-interlaced form at the rate of 30 frames per second
Digital Photo Mode lets you capture more than 700 brilliantly clear digital still pictures on a single tape (using an 80-minute cassette)
Turn your GL2 into a still camera by switching to 1.7 Mega Pixel Photo Mode and capturing high resolution still images onto the camcorder's MultiMediaCard
