NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in Record- Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus ( pg. 27), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 800X, or it can be switched to 32X magnification using the optical zoom. ( pg. 23)
●Zoom magnification of over 32X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.
●During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
●Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in FUNCTION Menu on page 23.
●When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first. If
