ªTo Take Close-up Shots of Small

Subjects

(Macro Close-up Function)

When the zoom magnification is 1k, the Camcorder can focus on a subject that is as close as approximately 1.6 inches (4 cm) from the Lens. Small subjects like insects can be recorded with this function.

ªTo Use the Tele-Macro Function

With the zoom magnification of 10k, the Camcorder can bring the subject into focus as close as approximately 16 inch (40 cm) from the Lens. Focusing only on the subject and displaying the background out of focus makes the picture more impressive.
