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 1 cm (0.39 in.).

When using tele-macro (072) and the camcorder is at full telephoto, you can focus on a subject as close as 40 cm (1.3 ft.).

When recording at maximum advanced zoom, the video quality is equivalent to high definition.

In mode, you can also set 78[Zoom Speed] to one of three constant speeds (3 is the fastest, 1 the slowest).

When [Zoom Speed] is set to [IVariable], the zoom speed will be faster in record pause mode than when actually recording, except when pre-recording (065) is activated.
