Anyone have a GL-1 or GL-2 camcorder? My power shuts off every 30 seconds or so. I can't find any way of stopping that from happening even if I'm connected electrically. The manual isn't helping me either.

Well, nevermind, I found the most depressing information on the online help from Canon's site:
How can I override the auto shut-off feature of this digital video camera?
The auto shut-off feature is designed to prevent unintentional depletion of the battery pack and possible damage to the unit. The automatic shut-off should not activate until after approximately 5 minutes in the record pause mode. This feature cannot be overridden. If the camcorder is shutting itself off at a significantly shorter interval than this, have the unit checked by a qualified technician.
