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.

Operation Mode

Choose the appropriate operation mode according to your preference using the Power Switch 8.

Power Switch Position

:

Allows you to set various recording functions using the Menus. If you want more creative capabilities than Full Auto recording, try this mode.

(Full Auto):

Allows you to record using NO special effects or manual adjustments. Suitable for standard recording.

OFF:

Allows you to switch off the camcorder.

PLAY:

Allows you to play back a recording on the tape.

Allows you to transfer still/moving images recorded on the tape to a computer.

Power-Linked Operation

When the Power Switch 8 is set to “ ” or “ ”, you can also turn on/off the camcorder by opening/closing the LCD monitor or pulling out/pushing in the viewfinder.

Zooming

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

Zoom In

Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring 9 clockwise.

Zoom Out

Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring 9 counterclockwise.

The further you turn the Power Zoom Ring 9 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. 19), then zoom in or out in Record mode.

Zooming is possible to a maximum of 700X, or it can be

switched to 16X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 21).

Zoom magnification of over 16X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.

During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.

Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Ring 9 is turned all the way clockwise. Also see “TELE MACRO” in the Menu Screen on page 22.
