Using Power Zoom Buttons

Zoom Buttons

T = Telephoto

W = Wide Angle

The zoom buttons are easily controlled by your index and middle fingers when you grasp the camcorder properly through the hand strap.

Using Zoom Ring Manually

When you want to zoom in or out of a scene without using the Power Zoom buttons, you can turn the Zoom Ring manually with your fingers. This lets you control the speed of the zoom.

The 6: l motorized zoom lens allows you to zoom in and out for close-ups or wide-angle shots just by pressing one of the Power Zoom fingertip controls.

Press the button labeled "T" to move the lens in the "telephoto" (close-up) direction.

Press "W" to move the lens in the "wide angle" direction.

- Quick Review

REVIEW

Button

During a recording session (when the camcorder is in the Record/

Pause mode), you can review the last few seconds of a taped scene by pressing the REVIEW button and watching the viewfinder.

REVIEW

Quick Review helps you recall the last scene you recorded on a tape and lets you set up the next scene.

After quick review playback, the camcorder returns to the Record/

Pause mode.

Most importantly, Quick Review returns the tape to its previous point after reviewing a scene. As a result, you can use this feature and then start recording again without creating a "gap" or picture break- up between taped segments.
