ZOOMING IN AND OUT

 

Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle

 

 

recording. This camcorder allows you to record

W T using 10x optical power zoom and 1200x digital

 

 

zoom.

 

•You can zoom with the zoom lever or the Control (W/T) button on the LCD panel.

•Zoom magnification over 10x uses digital image processing, and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming can increase image size up to 1200x.

Set "Digital Zoom" to "On." ￿page 55

Tip

 

When using the zoom function, you can decrease its speed by moving the Zoom (W/T) lever slowly.

 

 

 

 

Moving it quickly increases the zoom speed. However, if you use the Zoom (W/T) button on the display,

 

 

 

 

you cannot adjust the zoom speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is

 

 

 

 

about 5cm (about 1.96 inch) for wide-angle and 1m (about 39.4 inch) for telephoto.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Zooming during a recording may cause the camcorder to record the sound of the zoom lever or

 

 

 

 

zoom button.

 

 

 

 

• Optical zoom preserves image quality, but during digital zoom, the image quality may suffer.

 

 

 

 

• Fast zooming or zooming in on a far subject may cause slow focus. In this case, use "Manual

 

 

 

 

Focus." ￿page 51

 

 

 

 

• When you do hand held recording, we recommend you use "Anti-Shake (HDIS)" if you zoom in

 

 

 

 

on the subject. ￿page 52

• Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
