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. 45), 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. ( pg. 34)

●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 Recording Mode Switch is set to “MEMORY” or “HI-RES”.

●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”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in MANUAL Menu on page 35.

●For other notes,  pg. 67.

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 and the grip in the most convenient direction. The LCD monitor can rotate 270º (90º downward, 180º upward). The grip can rotate 90º downward.

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.

Self Recording

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 appears inverted as it would when viewing a mirror. However, the actual recorded image does not appear inverted.
