•When a subject is zoomed, it may be momentarily out of focus.

•When digital zoom is engaged, the image quality will be rougher.

MACRO RECORDING

Use the macro function when recording a small object from close-up position: You can shoot the subject as close as approximately 13/16” (2 cm) from the lens surface, magnifying the image to fill the screen.

1 Aim the DVD video camera/recorder at the subject, and press the zoom lever to “W” control side.

Note:

•Zoom can be used, but the subject may not be focused, depending on the distance to the subject. In this case, move the zoom to “W” control side to focus.

•The amount of light tends to be insufficient during macro recording: If the subject image is too dark, use additional lighting.
