Turning the Optical Image Stabilizer Off
E
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.
