Sony CCD-FX310 operation manual Pht, To zoom

You can create a professional-looking home video using these sepcial effects; zoom, close-up, fade-in and fade-out.

Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the scene. Use "Zoom-in (telephoto)" for dramatic close-ups, and "zoom-out (wide-angle)" for panoramic long shots. You can also use zooming to focus manually or to decide on a shooting angle. For more professional-looking recordings, use zooming sparingly.
