Does Canon GL2 have Hour meter ?

This information will be in the camcorder manual. If you have no manual, you can download a manual for almost any equipment by Googling the make and model followed by the word Manual, then follow the appropriate link(s).

Depending upon the size of the memory card a 16Gb memory card should only take a few mins.

Yes, it can be connected to your PC via USB, I guess you have its USB data cable and required manual and drivers CD with you, If not please follow the below link to download manual and drivers for your camera to connect with your PC.

All the Best

The flashing overlap on your screen is telling you that you have a digital fader effect (D.EFFECTS) selected. To remove the effect, simply press the D.EFFECTS/BARS SELECT BUTTON and select D.EFFECTS [OFF].

For further information, check the manual under Using Digital Effects.

Turn off the power saver mode. I did it and it works!

I hope I can offer a simple solution. If it doesn't work, then I'll I have to ask a few more questions. I know the GL has many buttons and settings and it can be confusing to keep an eye on all of them. Perhaps the camera was changed accidentally to manual focus? Can you check to see it is set to auto focus. If that isn't the case. When you say you can't focus, do you mean when you try to manually focus it, nothing happens?
