Zooming

Zoom out

22⋅ optical zoom/ 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 wide-angle.

•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.
