Recording

Zooming

You can zoom in and out for close ups or wide-angle shots just by sliding the zoom lever on the camcorder or pressing the button on the remote. The camcorder can automatically focus when you zoom at most distances.

If you want to record a close-up of a small subject closer than three feet, you can turn on the Tele Macro feature in the recording menu. This feature allows you to record a small subject at a distance of approximately 23 inches.

You can extend the amount of zooming by 5 or 14 times the normal zoom using the Shift Zoom feature in the recording menu.
