Other jacks include FireWire, S-video, A/V in and out and LANC edit control. In addition to a small speaker, Canon has provided a headphone jack to monitor audio. To avoid this, you can plug in an external microphone and get closer to your source. The mike did pick up the sound of our hands moving on the camera, though. The on-camera PCM stereo microphone worked well and we were pleased with how well the auto gain adjusted itself, without jarring jumps or drops in levels.
CANON DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA MANUAL
Although the GL1 doesn’t have manual audio level control, we hardly noticed. The GL1 has both 12 and 16-bit stereo audio and includes audio dub capability. Unfortunately, the GL1 doesn’t remember previous manual settings so when we switched to a different program mode or turned the unit off, we had to re-adjust our settings.
CANON DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA FULL
In Manual mode you have full control over the exposure, iris, white balance and video gain. The GL1 also has a Zebra-stripe feature that appears as diagonal lines on the frame to indicate whether the image is too bright. If you’re looking to control your depth of field, the AV mode lets you set the f/stop at intervals between f/1.6 and f/11.
CANON DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA TV
In TV mode you can select any of the 27 shutter speeds ranging from 1/60 to 1/15,000 of a second. In the Auto mode, the GL1 automatically adjusts all of the settings, allows you to access the advanced features and gives you manual control of any element you wish. This is a pure point-and-shoot mode with no manual control or digital effects. The most basic is the Easy Recording mode. Users can manually control focus, white balance, iris and shutter speed. The GL1 has nearly all of the manual controls that you could ask for. The manual focus, which we controlled by turning the fat, sure-grip focus ring was easy to adjust and didn’t drift. It also responded well when we panned across the room. It had no problem staying in focus, even as we zoomed in and out at full speed. The focus button on the left side of the body allows you to switch between automatic and manual focus.
The first thing that sticks out (literally) on the GL1, is the Fluorite lens with manual focus ring.
