Using the Zoom Feature

Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the scene. For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom sparingly.

T side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)

W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)

Turn the power zoom lever fully for a high-speed zoom. Turn it lightly for a relatively slow zoom.

When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom

If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, turn the power zoom lever towards the W side until the focus is sharp.

You can shoot a subject that is at least 2.6 feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or 1/ 2 inch (about 1 cm) in the wide-angle position.

Notes on Digital Zoom

You can select 12 x or 24 x of zooming.

•More than 12 x zoom is performed digitally, and the picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the T side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom set the ZOOM function to x12 (p. 29).

•The right side [a] in the power zoom indicator shows the digital zooming zone, and the left side [b] shows the opitical zooming zone. If you slide the ZOOM switch to x12, the [a] zone disappears.
