Using zoom

 

Recording in mirror mode

 

 

 

When the CAMERA-TAPE mode is selected, you can choose zoom to magnification levels greater than 10 times, and from that point activate the digital zoom ([DIGITAL ZOOM], p. 68).

Occasional use of the zoom is effective, but use it sparingly for best results.

You can turn the LCD panel towards the subject so that you and your subject can share the image being recorded. You can also utilize this function when recording yourself, to keep the attention of small children attracted to the camcorder while you record them.

Recording

Move the power zoom lever slightly for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom.

To record wider range of view

Move the power zoom lever towards W. The subject appears farther away (Wide angle).

To record closer view

Move the power zoom lever towards T. The subject appears closer (Telephoto).

Open the LCD panel 90 degrees to the camcorder, then rotate it 180 degrees towards the subject.

A mirror-image of the subject appears on the LCD screen, but the picture will be normal when recorded.
