PURPOSE:
To produce a zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
change in image magnification.
OPERATION:
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “T”.

Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “W”.
nThe harder you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the

●
Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In

lock the focus by using the manual focus
(
Z
pg. 25), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
●
In Full Auto mode (when the Power Switch is set to
“ ”), zoom magnification of up to 64X is possible.
In Manual mode (when the Power Switch is set to
“ ”), zooming is possible to a maximum of 450X,
or 16X magnification offered by optical zoom.
●
Zoom magnification of over 16X is done through
digital image processing, and is therefore called
Digital Zoom.
●
During Digital Zoom, the quality of the image may
suffer.
●
Digital Zoom cannot be used while functions done
through digital image processing (Picture Wipe/
Dissolve function,
Z
pg. 22, Video Echo,
Z
pg. 24, etc.) are activated.
●
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”. See also “TELE MACRO” in
the System Menu on page 20.
