Zoom in/out function
You can zoom in up to 10koptically.
≥Set to Tape Recording Mode.
1Wide-angle recording (zoom out):
Push the [W/T] lever (or sub zoom lever) towards [W].
Close-up recording (zoom in):
Push the [W/T] lever (or sub zoom lever) towards [T].
≥When zooming in and taking a picture while holding the
camera-recorder by hand, we recommend using the image
stabilizer function.
≥When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper focus
is achieved if the recording subject is 1.2 m (3.9 feet) or
further from the camera-recorder.
≥When the zoom speed is high, the subject may not be
focused easily.
≥When the zoom magnification is 1k, the camera-recorder can
focus on a subject approx. 4 cm (1.6 inches) distant from the
lens.
ªDigital zoom function
If the zoom magnification exceeds 10 times, then the digital
zoom function will be activated. The digital zoom function
allows you to select a magnification from 20k to 500k.
1Set [ADVANCE] >> [D.ZOOM] >> [20k] or [500k].
[OFF]: Optical zoom only (Up to 10k)
[20k]: Up to 20k
[500k]: Up to 500k
≥The larger the digital zoom magnification, the more the image
quality is degraded.
ªTo use the zoom microphone function
Interlocked with the zooming operation, the microphone will
collect sounds clearly far away with the tele-shot or those in the
vicinity with the wide-angle shot.
≥Set to Tape Recording Mode.
1Set [ADVANCE] >> [ZOOM MIC] >> [ON].
ªAbout the variable speed zoom function
≥When pushing the [W/T] lever as far as it will go, you can
zoom from 1k to 10k in 2.1 second at the maximum.
≥The zoom speed varies according to the amount of movement
of the [W/T] lever.
≥The variable speed zoom function cannot be used with the
remote control and sub zoom lever.
Adjusting the Microphone Sensitivity Level
You can adjust the microphone sensitivity for recording.
1Set [ADVANCE] >> [MIC LEVEL] >> [AUTO], [SETrAGC]
or [SET].
≥AGC*: Auto Gain Control
[AUTO]: AGC is activated, and the recording level is
adjusted automatically.
[SETrAGC]: The desired recording level can be set. AGC will
also be activated to reduce the amount of
distortion in the music.
[SET]: AGC is not activated and so natural recording
can be performed. Adjust in such a way that the
sound will not be distorted at the maximum
volume level.
2Press the [2] or [1] button to increase or decrease the
bars of the gain value.
3Press the [MENU] or [ENTER] button to complete the
settings.
≥Adjust the gain value so that the last 3 Bars of the [ ] will not
light red. (Otherwise,the Sound is distorted.)
≥The [MIC LEVEL] ([AUTO], [SETrAGC] or [SET]) setting on
the [TAPE RECORDING MENU] and
[TAPE PLAYBACK MENU] will be the same.
(Microphone sensitivity level can be adjusted on each mode
separately.)
≥When [ZOOM MIC] is set to [ON], set the zoom to the [T]
position before performing this adjustment.
≥Select a lower setting for gain value or set [MIC LEVEL] to
[AUTO].
≥It is recommended that you check through the headphones
before recording to ensure that the sound is not distorted.
