You can zoom in up to 30X by using the optical zoom.

Zoom magnifi cation over 30X is done through digital image processing, and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 800X. Set (ZOOM) to [60X] or [800X] ( 20).

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” ( 20).

* Frames are not displayed during recording.

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 ( 15) 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 re-inserted during shooting.

When shooting using a partially recorded tape.

When shooting on a blank portion located partway through the tape.

When shooting again after shooting a scene then opening/closing the cassette holder cover.

Notes:

The time code cannot be reset.

During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time code indication does not move smoothly.

The time code is displayed only when “TIME CODE” is set to “ON”. ( 23)
