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° down- ward, 180° upward).
Interface Shooting
| The person you shoot can view himself/herself in the LCD monitor, and |
| you can even shoot yourself while viewing your own image in the LCD |
| monitor. |
| Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180° so that it faces forward. |
| When the LCD monitor is tilted upward to an angle of over approx. 105°, |
| the monitor image is inverted vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled out at |
| that time, it also switches on. |
Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when | |
| recording. |
| During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and indications do not |
| appear inverted as they would when viewing a mirror. |

Power Zoom
Ring
FEATURE: Zooming
PURPOSE:
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous change in image magnification.
OPERATION:
Zoom In
Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring anti- clockwise.
Zoom Out
Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring clockwise.
The further you turn the Power Zoom Ring the quicker the zoom action.
NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in
( pg. 53), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 100X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 41).
●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 in the following cases:
•When digital image processing, such as Picture Wipe/Dissolve ( pg. 50, 51) or Video Echo ( pg. 49), is activated.
●Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Ring is turned all the way clockwise. Also see “TELE MACRO” in the Menu Screen on page 41.
