Move the zoom lever toward W to zoom out (wide-angle). Move it toward T to zoom in (telephoto).

NOTES

When set to [VARIABLE], the zoom speed will be faster in the record pause mode.

Keep at least 1 m to the subject. At wide-angle, you can focus on a subject as close as 1 cm.

QUICK START instead of turning off the camcorder, you can get it ready to start recording within approx. 1 second.
