Journalistic Shooting

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. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).

Self-Recording

You can shoot yourself while viewing your own image in the LCD monitor. Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward 180° so that it faces forward, then point the lens toward yourself and start recording.

Operation Mode

Choose the appropriate operation mode according to your preference using the Power Switch u and VIDEO/MEMORY Switch 4.

Power Switch Position

:

Allows you to set various recording functions using the Menus. If you want more creative capabilities than Full Auto recording, try this mode.

(Full Auto):

Allows you to record using NO special effects or manual adjustments. Suitable for standard recording.

OFF (CHARGE):

Allows you to switch off the camcorder.

PLAY:

•Allows you to play back a recording on the tape.

•Allows you to access data stored on the memory card or to transfer still images stored on the memory card to a computer.

VIDEO/MEMORY Switch Position

VIDEO:

•Allows you to record on a tape or play back a tape.

If “REC SELECT” is set to “ / ” in the DSC Menu Screen, still images are recorded on the memory card as well.

•Zoom magnification over 16X is available ( pg. 13, 28).

MEMORY:

Allows you to record on a memory card or access data stored on a memory card.

Zooming

To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous change in image magnification.

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 Record-Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus ( pg. 26), then zoom in or out in Record mode.

●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 700X, or it can be

switched to 16X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 28).

●Zoom magnification of over 16X 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 4 is set to “MEMORY” ( “VIDEO/MEMORY Switch Position”).

●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 29.
