You need hands on experience to get well versed with the camera’s controls per button. Though it offers a great deal of control for gain, exposure, and shutter speed, I took some time to get used to it. Once you know your way around, you can just breeze through. Its 2.5-inch flip-out LCD is well suited for shooting on tripods. Whatever you’d ask for in a prosumer camcorder, the GL2 Digital Camcorder has it all. This includes automatic and manual focus as well as exposure control.
