zoom, digital zoom is also available
( 93).
12x Optical Zoom
Move the zoom lever toward W to
zoom out (wide angle). Move it
toward T to zoom in (telephoto).
Press gently for a slow zoom; press
harder for faster zooms. You can also
set [ZOOM SPEED] ( 93) to one of
three constant speeds (3 is the fastest,
1 the slowest).
NOTES
• Keep at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) away from the
subject. At full wide angle, you can
focus on a subject as close as 1cm
(0.39in.).
• When [ZOOM SPEED] is set to
[VARIABLE]:
- When you use the T and W buttons on
the wireless controller or LCD panel,
the zoom speed will be constant at
[ SPEED 3].
- The zoom speed will be faster in
record pause mode than when actually
recording.
Quick Start Function
When you close the LCD panel with the
camcorder on, the camcorder enters
the standby mode. In standby mode the
camcorder consumes only about half
the power used when recording, saving
energy when you are using a battery
pack. Additionally, when you open the
LCD panel, the camcorder is ready to
start recording in approximately
1second, ensuring you do not miss
important shooting opportunities.
1With the camcorder on and in a
recording mode, close the LCD
panel.
A beep will sound and the
indicator will change to orange to
indicate the camcorder entered the
standby mode.
