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

Zoom magnifi cation over 65x is done through digital image processing, and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 2200x. Set “Zoom Type” to “Digital Zoom.” page 63

The minimum possible distance between the camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 0.39 inch (1cm) for wide-angle and about 39.4 inches (1m) for telephoto.

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

Fast zooming or zooming in subject at a far distance may produce slow focusing. If this occurs, use “Manual Focus.” page 58

It is recommended to use Anti-Shake (HDIS) with handheld recording if the subject is zoomed in and enlarged.

Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.

Zooming during a recording may record operation sound of the zoom lever or zoom button.

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.
