Zooming
This DVD Video Camera allows you to record using optical 24- (on VDR-M53PP/VDR-M55PP) or 10- (on
VDR-M75PP/VDR-M95PP) power zoom and digital zoom.
If you continue to hold the zoom lever on the “T”

(on VDR-M53PP/VDR-M55PP) or Dig. Zoom 40x
or 240x specified (on VDR-M75PP/VDR-M95PP),
the digital zoom will be activated midway (when
optical 24-power is exceeded on VDR-M53PP/
VDR-M55PP or optical 10-power is exceeded on
VDR-M75PP/VDR-M95PP). You can set the digital
