Videofilmación

 

 

Using the Zoom Feature

Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the scene. For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom sparingly.

T side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)

W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)

Zooming Speed

Turn the power zoom lever fully for a high- speed zoom. Turn it lightly for a relatively slow zoom.

When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom

If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, turn the power zoom lever towards the W side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 80 cm away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 1 cm in the wide- angle position.

Utilización del zoom

El zoom le permitirá cambiar el tamaño del motivo en la escena. Para videofilmaciones de aspecto más profesional, utilice el zoom en forma limitada.

Lado T: para telefoto (el motivo se ve cercano)

Lado W: para gran angular (el motivo se ve lejano)

Velocidad del zoom

Gire completamente la palanca del zoom motorizado para accionar el zoom a gran velocidad y gírela un poco para hacerlo a una velocidad relativamente lenta.

Cuando videofilme un motivo empleando el acercamiento con el zoom

Si no puede enfocar nítidamente cuando videofilme con el zoom en el extremo del telefoto, gire la palanca del zoom motorizado hacia el lado W hasta enfocar nítidamente. Usted podrá videofilmar un motivo que esté por lo menos a unos 80 cm de la superficie del objetivo en la posición de telefoto, y a aproximadamente 1 cm en la de gran angular.
