Buttons

•The zoom speed changes depending on the degree of pressure placed on the Power Zoom buttons.

•The on-screen display will show you the current zoom setting.

Notes:

•The camcorder is unable to focus when zooming in on subjects within 5 feet (1.5 m). The camcorder will automatically zoom out until it focuses on the subject.

•Frequent zooming produces unattractive pictures. It also increases battery power consumption.

Setting the Digital Zoom

You can select between two zoom ranges: normal =1–12×(optical) or digital = 1–12×(optical) plus 12–30×(digital). The digital option adds the 12–30 × digital range to the normal zoom, allowing you to record powerful close-up pictures using the same zoom features as normal zoom. The zoom option is factory preset to 1–12×optical zoom. In the 12–30×zoom range, the picture quality may suffer slightly.
