You can also use the T and W buttons on the wireless controller or the LCD panel. The zoom speed with these buttons will be the same as with the camcorder (when one of the fixed zoom speed levels is selected) or fixed at

[ SPEED 3] (when [ VARIABLE] is selected).

When set to [ VARIABLE], the zoom speed will be faster in the record pause mode. Keep at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) away from the

subject. At wide-angle, you can focus on a subject as close as 1 cm (0.39 in.).
