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 ( pg. 45), then zoom in or out in Record mode.

●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 300X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom. ( pg. 35)

●Zoom magnification of over 10X 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”.

●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 36.

●For other notes,  pg. 68.

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 270º (90º downward, 180º upward).
