VIDEO CAMERA INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANON GL-1

The following steps are for recording the movie (see Figure 2):

Set the recording program mode to AUTO "A" recommended (see Figure 2).
Set the camera to record pause mode.
Slide the MOVIE MODE switch to NORMAL/FRAME.
Note: The NORMAL movie mode is recommended; however, the frame mode can be used when you want to look at video, scene by scene, free from field slippage (the "flicker" that normally occurs when you pause a video). During playback, pause the video any time you like to view a crystal clear still image in the display or on a connected computer screen. It is also possible to transfer your favorite still picture to a PC for a image enhancement and print out.
