Animation Can't Post

Hi,
I'm writing from Germany, so I use a Canon XM-1 in PAL, but that's the same camera what you call Canon GL1 (or XL1??).
So, my question is: Is it possible to shoot footage frame by frame? I'm interested in Animation-Shooting (or Stop-Motion), but I do not like the task to use the photo option and then transfer it into video editing to reduce each 6 seconds or so to one frame.
So, is there a possibility to shoot ONE frame?
thanks for helping
Mark

Re: Animation, No sweat! Can't Post

No sweat! If you don't want to use the six-second-reduce-to-one-frame approach simply shoot normally, but change your scenes very very fast. It will take practice, but in time you will be able to shoot stop-animation like no one's business!
