Macro Shots

This camcorder lets you shoot close-up images of small objects such as flowers and insects, or make title frames for your videos. When you want to record a magnified image of a subject which is within approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) of the camcorder, do not zoom in on the subject. Instead, zoom out all the way by holding down the Power Zoom W button, and then move the camcorder closer to the subject until you obtain the desired angle of view. The camcorder will automatically focus on the subject when the lens is set for the widest angle.

Camera Recording Basic Operations

To return to normal recording mode, press B on the button to select “DIS” again. The “” indicator will disappear.

Notes:

• While this function is in progress, the image on the

monitor is slightly magnified, and the shutter speed

is automatically switched from the standard speed

(1/60 sec.) to 1/100 sec.

• Image resolution slightly decreases in DIS mode.

• Under the light of fluorescent lamps, the picture may

brighten and dim.
