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

Press the [W/T] zoom lever towards [T].

ªTo Use the Zoom Microphone Function

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

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

≥The Zoom Microphone Function is also applied for the 1.5 Times Tele Jump Zoom Function.
