Approximate zoom ratio
●The further you slide the power zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.
●Zoom magnification over 10X is done through digital image processing, and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 300X. Set “ZOOM” to “40X” or “300X”. ( pg. 34)
●Zooming is available up to 8X when the VIDEO/ MEMORY switch is set to “MEMORY”.
NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in
( pg. 41), then zoom in or out in record mode.
●During digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
●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 MANUAL menu on page 35.
●When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first. If
In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction.
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback.

* Frames are not displayed during recording.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform “Recording from the Middle of a Tape” ( pg. 20) in the following cases;
●When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape.
●When power shuts off during shooting.
●When a tape is removed and
●When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
●When shooting on a blank portion located partway through the tape.
●When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
