≥When zooming in and taking a picture while holding the camera-recorder by hand, we recommend using the image stabilizer function.

≥When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper focus is achieved if the recording subject is 1.2 m (3.9 feet) or further from the camera-recorder.

≥When the zoom speed is high, the subject may not be focused easily.

≥When the zoom magnification is 1k, the camera-recorder can focus on a subject approx. 4 cm (1.6 inches) distant from the lens.

ªDigital zoom function

If the zoom magnification exceeds 10 times, then the digital zoom function will be activated. The digital zoom function allows you to select a magnification from 20k to 500k.

1Set [ADVANCE] >> [D.ZOOM] >> [20k] or [500k].

20tW	T

[OFF]: Optical zoom only (Up to 10k)

[20k]: Up to 20k

[500k]: Up to 500k

≥The larger the digital zoom magnification, the more the image quality is degraded.

ªTo use the zoom microphone function

Interlocked with the zooming operation, the microphone will collect sounds clearly far away with the tele-shot or those in the vicinity with the wide-angle shot.

≥Set to Tape Recording Mode.

1 Set [ADVANCE] >> [ZOOM MIC] >> [ON].

ªAbout the variable speed zoom function

≥When pushing the [W/T] lever as far as it will go, you can zoom from 1k to 10k in 2.1 second at the maximum.

≥The zoom speed varies according to the amount of movement of the [W/T] lever.

≥The variable speed zoom function cannot be used with the remote control and sub zoom lever.

Adjusting the Microphone Sensitivity Level

You can adjust the microphone sensitivity for recording.

1Set [ADVANCE] >> [MIC LEVEL] >> [AUTO], [SETrAGC] or [SET].

	MENU
≥AGC*: Auto Gain Control
[AUTO]:	AGC is activated, and the recording level is
	adjusted automatically.

[SETrAGC]: The desired recording level can be set. AGC will

	also be activated to reduce the amount of
	distortion in the music.
[SET]:	AGC is not activated and so natural recording
	can be performed. Adjust in such a way that the
	sound will not be distorted at the maximum
	volume level.

2Press the [2] or [1] button to increase or decrease the bars of the gain value.

3Press the [MENU] or [ENTER] button to complete the settings.

≥Adjust the gain value so that the last 3 Bars of the [] will not light red. (Otherwise,the Sound is distorted.)

≥The [MIC LEVEL] ([AUTO], [SETrAGC] or [SET]) setting on the [TAPE RECORDING MENU] and

[TAPE PLAYBACK MENU] will be the same.

(Microphone sensitivity level can be adjusted on each mode separately.)

≥When [ZOOM MIC] is set to [ON], set the zoom to the [T] position before performing this adjustment.

≥Select a lower setting for gain value or set [MIC LEVEL] to [AUTO].

≥It is recommended that you check through the headphones before recording to ensure that the sound is not distorted.
