Zooming In and Out

Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in a scene. For more professional looking recordings, do not use the zoom function too often.

You can zoom using variable zoom speeds.

Use these features for different shots. Please note that over-use of the zoom feature can lead to unprofessional looking results and a reduction of battery usage time.

1.Move the zoom lever slightly for a gradual zoom, move it further for a high-speed zoom. Your zooming is monitored on the OSD.

2.T(Telephoto) side: Subject appears closer.

3.W(Wide angle) side: Subject appears farther away.
