USING THE EXTERNAL MICROPHONE

Connect external microphone (optional-user provided) to the external microphone jack of this HD camcorder for clearer audio recordings. Turn on the switch on microphone and start recording.

This HD camcorder cannot use a plug-in power type microphone (power supplied from camcorder).

Only a 3.5 Ø microphone plug can be connected to the HD camcorder.

The “Wind Cut” function is not available when using the external microphone.

ZOOMING

This HD camcorder allows you to record using optical 10x power zoom and digital zoom with the Zoom lever or the Zoom button on the LCD panel.

To zoom in

Slide the Zoom lever towards T (telephoto).

(Or press the T (zoom) button on the LCD panel.)

To zoom out

Slide the Zoom lever towards W (wide-angle). (Or press the W (zoom) button on the LCD panel.)

The farther you slide the Zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.

Zoom magnification over 10x is done through digital image processing, and is, therefore, called digital zoom. You can achieve up to 20x magnification by using digital zooming. Set “Digital Zoom” to “On.” page 62

Focussing may become unstable during zooming. In the case, set the zoom before recording and lock the focus by using the manual focus. (page 56)

During digital zoom, the image quality may suffer.

Macro shooting is possible as close as approx. 3 cm (1.2”) to the subject when the Zoom lever is set all the way to W.

When you zoom into a subject close to the lens, the HD camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance to the subject. In this case, set “Tele Macro” to “On.” page 59
