Zoom

MODE: /

Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle shooting. You can zoom in up to 10x by using the optical zoom.

To zoom in

Slide the zoom lever towards [T] (telephoto).

To zoom out

Slide the zoom lever towards [W] (wide-angle).

The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action becomes.

●Zoom magnification over 10x is done through digital image processing, and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 200x. Set [ZOOM] to [40X] or [200X].

NOTES:

●Focusing may become unstable during zooming. In this case, set the zoom before recording and lock the focus by using the manual focus, then zoom in or out during recording.

●During digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.

●Macro shooting is possible as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the subject when the zoom lever is set all the way to [W].

●When you zoom into a subject close to the lens, the camera may automatically zoom out depending on the distance to the subject. In this case, set [TELE MACRO] to [ON].
