Using the Digital Zoom

The digital zoom increases the magnification of the power zoom by 2 times. You must place the subject you wish to magnify at the center of the viewfinder.

Note: This digital zoom has certain limitation and may degradative at extreme magnification and amplify camcorder's movement.
