W: Wide-angle

Using the optical zoom does not degrade the image quality and clarity.

Use the digital zoom when you want to zoom more than the optical zoom range. ¬page 65

Focusing may become unstable when you record with a fast zoom or

zoom into a subject standing too far away. If this occurs, use the manual focus function. (Video recording mode only) ¬page 53

The minimum distance you can have between the camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 1cm (about 0.4 inches) for wide angle and about 1m (about 40 inches) for telephoto. If you want to shoot

the subject close to the lens at a wide angle, use the Tele Macro function. ¬page 64

Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.

The camcorder can record the sound of the zoom mechanism.
