NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 700X, or it can be switched to 16X magnification using the optical zoom. ( pg. 15)
●Zoom magnification of over 16X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.
●During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
●Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm 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 15.
Journalistic Shooting
In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).
Self Recording
Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180° so that it faces forward, then point the lens toward yourself and start
recording. | Self Recording |
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback.

If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number.
If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” (See below) in the following cases;
● When shooting again after playing back a recorded tape. |
| ||||||||
● When power shuts off during shooting. |
| ||||||||
● When a tape is removed and |
| ||||||||
● When shooting using a partially recorded tape. |
| ||||||||
● When shooting on a blank portion located partway through |
| ||||||||
the tape. |
