Tip

The further you rotate the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.

Digital and Optical Zooming

You can zoom in and out for close-up or wide-angle shots by moving the zoom lever on the camcorder. The camcorder automatically focuses at most distances when zooming. Optical zooming is possible up to 16 times, and digital zooming allows up to 400 times normal magnification.

Using the Zoom Lever (W and T)

To zoom in tight (telephoto) or out wide (wide angle), rotate the zoom lever to either T or W.

With telephoto zooming it is possible to capture images to a maximum of 400 times normal magnification. To do this, the camcorder uses technology to artificially enhance the image.

Optical zoom is the natural, non-enhanced magnification that the camcorder’s lens will support. This camcorder has an optical zoom of 16 times (16X).

When using the zoom lever, an icon appears on screen to display the approximate zoom ratio.
