LCD Monitor And ViewfinderWhile using the LCD monitor:
Make sure the viewfinder is pushed back in. Press the
Monitor Opening Button and open the LCD monitor fully.
It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).
While using the viewfinder:
Make sure the LCD monitor is closed and locked. Pull out
the viewfinder fully.
●Be sure to pull out the viewfinder until you hear a click,
otherwise it may be pushed back in during use.
NOTES:
●The image will not appear simultaneously on the LCD
monitor and the viewfinder. When the viewfinder is pulled
out while the LCD monitor is opened, you can select which
one to use. Set “PRIORITY” to the desired mode in
SYSTEM Menu. (墌pg.25, 27)
●Colored bright spots may appear all over the LCD monitor
or the viewfinder. However, this is not a malfunction.

ZoomingProduces the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
change in image magnification.
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “W”.
●The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker the
zoom action.
NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this
case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby, lock the focus
by using the manual focus (墌pg.32), then zoom in or out
in Record mode.
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 700X, or it can be
switched to 16X (10X for GR-D93) magnification using the
optical zoom. (墌pg.26)
●Zoom magnification of over 16X (10X for GR-D93) is done
through Digital image processing, and is therefore called
Digital Zoom.
●During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
●Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/MEMORY
Switch is set to “MEMORY”. (GR-D93/73 only)
●Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all
the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in MANUAL Menu
on page 26.
