Mastering the Basics
10⋅ optical zoom (card 7.5⋅)
The camcorder’s zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each scene:
•Move the zoom control towards W to zoom out to
•Move it towards T to zoom in to telephoto.
You can also control the speed of zooming:
•Move the control slightly to zoom slowly.
•Move it farther to zoom more quickly. (The farther you move the zoom control, the faster the zoom speed.)
The T and W buttons on the wireless controller adjust the picture angle, but not the zoom speed.
40⋅/400⋅ digital zoom (card 30⋅)
Magnifies the camcorder’s zoom range by up to 40⋅ in TAPE CAMERA mode. The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out between 1⋅ and 400⋅ magnification — the camcorder automatically switches between optical zooming (up to 10⋅) and digital zooming (10⋅ to 40⋅ or 10⋅ to 400⋅).
