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).

Self-Recording

You can shoot yourself while viewing your own image in the LCD monitor. Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward 180° so that it faces forward, then point the lens toward yourself and start recording.

FEATURE: Zooming

PURPOSE:

To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous change in image magnification.

OPERATION:

Zoom In

Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “T”.

Zoom Out

Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “W”.

The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker the zoom action.

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. 51), then zoom in or out in Record mode.

Zooming is possible to a maximum of 200X with GR-DVM75 or 300X with GR-DVM55, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 39).

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 in the following cases:

When digital image processing, such as Picture Wipe/Dissolve ( pg. 48, 49) or Video Echo ( pg. 47), 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 39.
