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. 43), then zoom in or out in Record mode.●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 400X, or itcan be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 47).

●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 digital imageprocessing, such as Picture Wipe/Dissolve( pg. 40, 41) or Video Echo ( pg. 39), is activated.

●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 the Menu Screen on page 48.
