Headphone level - Why aren't reviewers finding it, it's easy. at DVinfo.net

I just wanted to note that I have read a couple of reviews that complain about there being no headphone volume for the GL2 when the dial is actually in a wonderful place and works excellently. With headphones plugged in, just jog the dial on the back (under the menu button) and the headphones level will go up and down.

A good observation. Sometimes this sort of thing is not immediately obvious, especially to a camera reviewer. Thanks,

Many reviewers are working on a tight time budget, and may be working from press packages provided by Canon. If it is not addressed in the press package, they assume it is not present. (No time to RTFM <G>.) Some may just not know what they are doing, aftereall, they may be writers, not videographers.
