Press the [W/T] zoom lever towards [W]. For close-ups (zoom in):

Taking Close-up Shots of Small Subjects (Macro Close-up Function)

When the zoom magnification is 1a, the Palmcorder can focus on a subject that is as close as approximately 1.5 inches (35 mm) from the lens. With this, small subjects, such as insects, can be recorded.

To Use the Zoom Microphone Function

Along with the zooming operation, the microphone’s directional angle and sensitivity are varied for recording audio.

≥Set [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] >> [RECORDING SETUP] >> [ZOOM MIC] >> [ON]. (The [Z.MIC] Indication is displayed. 1)

≥The Zoom Microphone Function may not work effectively if the surrounding noise is too loud.

≥When the [TAPE/CARD] Selector is set to [CARD], the Zoom Microphone Function does not work.
