Coloured bright spots may appear all over the LCD monitor or the viewfinder. However, this is not a malfunction. ( pg. 39)

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. 29), then zoom in or out in Record mode.

Zooming is possible to a maximum of 800X, or it can be switched to 25X magnification using the optical zoom. ( pg. 23)

Zoom magnification of over 25X 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 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 24.

When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first. If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when “TELE MACRO” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 24)
