Zooming

This DVD video camera/recorder can optically zoom in on subject up to 12 powers, digitally multiplied by 20 powers for movie recording and 4 powers for still recording.

Move the zoom lever down to “T” control side, and the subject image will gradually become telescopic: Move the zoom lever up to “W” con- trol side, and the image will widen.

If Dig. Zoom 48x or 240x is specified, moving the zoom lever down to “T” control side will engage the digital zoom midway (see page 57).

Note: The setting of digital zoom 240x is ef fective only during movie recording. If you specify 240x in the still recording mode, the digital zoom will au- tomatically be set to 48x.

Note: When a subject is zoomed, it may be mo- mentarily out of focus.

Note: When digital zoom is engaged, the image quality will be rougher.

Note: If the zoom ratio is frequently changed at short intervals, the recorded image will be unclear.
