Tip
The further you rotate the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.
Using the Zoom Lever (W and T)
To zoom in tight (telephoto) or out wide (wide angle), rotate the zoom lever to either T or W.
With telephoto zooming it is possible to capture images to a maximum of 400 times normal magnification. To do this, the camcorder uses technology to artificially enhance the image.
Optical zoom is the natural,
When using the zoom lever, an icon appears on screen to display the approximate zoom ratio.
Notes:
•While zooming, focusing may become unstable. If so, set the zoom while in
•The zoom level icon moves during zoom. Once it reaches the top of the zoom icon bar, all magnification from that point is through digital processing.
•During digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
