Zooming

Produces the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
change in image magnification.
Zoom In
Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring
towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring
towards “W”.
●The further you turn the Power Zoom Ring, 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
(墌pg.54), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 200X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the
optical zoom. (墌pg.43)
●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 to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Ring is
set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in
MANUAL Menu on page 46.
●For other notes, 墌pg.81.

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).

Interface Shooting

The person you
shoot can view
himself/herself in
the LCD monitor,
and you can even
shoot yourself while
viewing your own
image in the LCD
monitor.
1) Open the LCD
monitor and tilt it
upward to 180º
so that it faces
forward.
●When the LCD
monitor is tilted upward to an angle of over
approx. 105º, the monitor image is inverted
vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled out at that
time, it also switches on.
2) Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when
self-recording) and start recording.
●During Interface Shooting, the monitor image
and indications do not appear inverted as they
would when viewing a mirror.
