Tip

The zoom speed of this camcorder is not variable. Use the zoom lever for high speed zoom and zoom button on the LCD panel for low speed zoom.

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 or intelli zoom range. page 82

Focusing may become unstable when recording with a fast zoom or zooming into a subject standing too far away. In this case, use the manual focus function. page 73

The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 10cm (about 3.9 inches) for wide angle and about 1m (about 39.37 inches) for telephoto. If you want to shoot the object close to the lens at a wide angle, use the Super Macro function. page 80

When using the zoom function while holding the camcorder with your hand, use “Anti- Shake (EIS)” for stable recording. page 77

Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
