With most camcorders, even the slightest hand movements will be noticeable during telephoto
recording. However, the GL2’s Optical Image Stabilizer allows you to obtain steady recordings even
at high magnification. Unlike electronic image stabilizers, it causes no loss of picture quality. The
Optical Image Stabilizer can compensate for a wide range of camcorder movement — you can
record stable images even if you are shooting from a moving car.
To turn the image stabilizer off, open the menu and select CAM.SET UP. Then
select IMAGE S.
i, set it to OFF and close the menu.
• The i mark appears in the display when the stabilizer is on.
• The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the program selector is set to the [ (Easy
Recording) program.
Notes:
• The camcorder retains your selection even if you turn the camcorder off.
• The image stabilizer is designed to deal with a normal degree of camcorder shake.
• Keep the image stabilizer turned off when the camcorder is mounted on a tripod.
