D.ZOOM

[OFF], [ 105x], [ 1000x] Determines the operation of the digital zoom.

When activated, the camcorder will

switch automatically to the digital zoom when you zoom in beyond the optical zoom range.

With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so the image resolution will deteriorate the more you zoom in.

ZOOM SPEED

The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full telephoto. The image stabilizer is designed to

compensate for a normal degree of camcorder shake.

The image stabilizer may not be effective when recording in dark places using the [ NIGHT] recording program.

The image stabilizer may not be effective when using a slow shutter speed with the [SHUTTER-PRIO. AE] recording program.

The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the mode switch is set to AUTO.

We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [ OFF] when using a tripod.
