The GR-DVL220 is also compatible with a variety of video formats, including DV and MPEG-1, ensuring that users can choose the best option for their needs.

The camcorder comes with a 2.5-inch color LCD screen that provides a clear view for composing shots and navigating menus. With easy-to-use controls, the GR-DVL220 ensures that users can quickly adapt to its functionalities. Additionally, it includes various scene modes and digital effects, allowing for creative storytelling through video.
