Hitachi DZMV780MA, DZMV750MA, DZ-BX31A, DZGX20MA instruction manual Macro Recording

English

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.

RECORDING SUBJECTS FOR STRONGER WIDE-ANGLE OR TELEPHOTO EFFECT

Use the tele-conversion lens or wide-conversion lens with the following filter diameter and thread pitch to record subjects for stronger telephoto or wide-angle effect:

Filter diameter: 34 mm for DZ-GX20MA, DZ-MV750MA or DZ-BX31A; 30.5 mm for DZ- MV780MA

Thread pitch: 0.5 mm

When attaching the optional DZ-TL1 tele-conversion lens or DZ-WL1 wide-conversion lens, use the optional step-up ring: DZ-SR3437 for DZ-GX20MA, DZ-MV750MA or DZ-BX31A; DZ-SR3037 for DZ-MV780MA (see page 162).

•Tele-conversion lens: For stronger telephoto effect

•Wide-conversion lens: 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.

16 feet (5 m) and infinite.

•When a conversion lens is attached, note that the four corners of screen will be slightly dim if you zoom in on a subject on the W control side (wide-angle side).

•When replacing the lens, take care not to drop the DVD video camera/recorder.

•Attaching the conversion lens will disable the function of the built-in flash (for DZ-GX20MA only): Specify “Flash: Off” (see page 79).

•If a generally available filter is attached, do not attach the removed lens hood.
