Tip

 

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

 

 

 

 

A fast moving increases the zoom speed. However, the Zoom (W/T) button on the display 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 record operation 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 a far subject may cause slow focus. In this case, use "Manual

 

 

 

Focus." ²page 51

 

 

 

• It is recommended to use "Anti-Shake (HDIS)" with handheld recording if the subject is zoomed
