Zooming

You can operate the zoom using the zoom lever on the side grip or the one on the carrying handle. You can also use the zoom ring on the lens or the zoom buttons on the wireless controller. With the customized functions ( 100) you can change the direction and response sensitivity of adjustment when the zoom ring is used, change the zoom speed and select the zoom indicator (graphic or numeric).

Zoom buttons

Zoom ring

Move the zoom lever toward W to zoom out (wide-angle). Move it toward T to zoom in (telephoto).

Zoom Speed

Zoom lever on the side grip:

When the ZOOM SPEED switch is set to CONSTANT, the zoom speed will be constant at one of 16 zoom speed levels (the current zoom speed level will appear next to the zoom indicator). Turn the ZOOM SPEED dial toward FAST to select a faster zoom speed level (higher number); turn it toward SLOW to select a slower zoom speed level (lower number).

When the ZOOM SPEED switch is set to VARIABLE, the zoom speed will depend on how you operate the zoom lever: press gently for a slower zoom; press harder for faster zooms.

Approximate zoom speeds using the HD 20x L IS III lens (from full wide-angle to full telephoto):

	ZOOM SPEED switch	Zoom speed level	Custom function [ZOOM SPEED] setting
			[NORMAL]1	[SLOW]	[FAST]

	CONSTANT	Level 1	5 min.	3 min.	1 min.
		Level 16	4.3 sec.	2 sec.	1.22 sec.

	VARIABLE	–		1.22 – 60 sec.

1Default setting when recording movies. When recording still images, the default setting is [FAST].

2When the zoom speed is too fast (less than 2 seconds end-to-end), the camcorder will have more trouble focusing automatically while zooming.

Zoom ring: The zoom speed depends on how fast you turn the zoom ring.
