RECORDING & PLAYBACK
Zooming
While recording
You can zoom in up to 34X by using the optical
zoom.
Zoom magnification over 34X is done through
digital image processing, and is therefore called
digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to
900X. Set (ZOOM) to [68X] or [900X].
( pg. 32)
NOTES:
Macro shooting is possible as close as approx. 5
cm (2") to the subject when the zoom lever is set
all the way to W.
When you zoom into a subject close to the lens,
the camera may automatically zoom out
depending on the distance to the subject. In this
case, set “TELE MACRO” to “ON”. ( pg. 32)
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).
Interface Shooting
The person you shoot
can view himself/
herself in the LCD
monitor, and you can
even shoot yourself
while viewing your
own image in the
LCD monitor.
1)Open the LCD
monitor and tilt it
upward to 180° so
that it faces forward.
Then, pull out the
viewfinder fully.
2)Point the lens
toward the subject (yourself when self-
recording) and start recording.
During Interface Shooting, the monitor image
appears inverted as it would when viewing a
mirror. However, the actual recorded image
does not appear inverted.
If the Quick Review ( pg. 18) is executed
during the interface shooting, the LCD monitor
will be turned off. In such a case, check the
playback picture in the viewfinder.
To check the playback picture in the LCD
monitor, close the viewfinder.
