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 down 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.

RECORDING SUBJECTS FOR STRONGER WIDE-ANGLE OR TELEPHOTO EFFECT

Use tele-conversion lens or wide-conversion lens with a filter diameter of 37 mm and thread pitch of 0.75 mm, to record subjects for stronger telephoto or wide-angle effect.

1 Remove the lens hood from DVD video

2 Remove the cap of conversion lens, and screw

Tele-conversion lens (DZ-TL1): For stronger telephoto effect

Wide-conversion lens (DZ-WL1): For stronger wide-angle effect

Note:

 

Be careful not to lose the removed lens hood.

 

With DZ-TL1 tele-conversion lens, the focusing range at

 

“T” (telephoto) control side is between approx. 5 m and

 

infinite.

 

When a conversion lens is attached, note that if you

 

zoom in on a subject, vignetting will slightly occur on the

 

“W” (wide-angle) control side (the four corners of screen

 

will be dim).

 

When replacing the lens, take care not to drop the DVD
