≥When zooming in and taking a picture while holding the movie camera 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 metres or further from the movie camera.

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

≥When the zoom magnification is 1k, the movie camera can focus on a subject approx. 4 cm 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].

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

ªTo use the zoom microphone function

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 1.3 second at the maximum.

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

≥For the free style remote control with mic, the zoom speed changes in 2 stages.

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

Recording yourself

You can record yourself while viewing the LCD monitor. You can record persons in front of the camera while presenting them the image. The image is horizontally flipped as if you see a mirror image. (The image to be recorded is the same as that recording.)

1Rotate the LCD monitor towards the lens side.

≥When the LCD monitor is opened, the viewfinder will be automatically turned off. If the LCD monitor is rotated towards the lens side though, then the viewfinder will be activated.

≥When the LCD monitor is rotated towards the lens side, the icon will not be displayed even if you push the centre of the joystick.
