FEATURE: Zooming
PURPOSE:
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instanta- neous change in image magnification.
OPERATION:
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “W”.
The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker the zoom action.
NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in
lock the focus by using the manual focus
( pg. 43), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 500X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 47).
●Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.
●During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
●Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/ MEMORY Switch is set to “MEMORY” ( pg. 17).
●Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in the Menu Screen on page 48.
