MV550i 22⋅ optical zoom/ MV530i 18⋅ optical zoom
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.
