Zooming

You can zoom in up to the magnifications shown in the following table.

	(optical zoom)

DCR-SR45/SR46	40 ×
DCR-SR65/SR85	25 ×

You can adjust the magnification with the power zoom lever or the zoom buttons on the LCD frame.

Wider range of view:

(Wide angle)

Close view: (Telephoto)

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

Notes

[STEADYSHOT] may not reduce image blurring as desired when the power zoom lever is set to the T (Telephoto) side.

Be sure to keep your finger on the power zoom lever. If you move your finger off the power zoom lever, the operation sound of the lever may also be recorded.

You cannot change the zoom speed with the zoom buttons on the LCD frame.

The minimum possible distance between

camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about 80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for telephoto.

Tips

Using [DIGITAL ZOOM] (p. 58) lets you zoom in further than the magnification shown in the table.

Starting shooting quickly (QUICK ON)

Recording/Playback

When you press QUICK ON, the camcorder goes to sleep mode (power saving mode) instead of turning off. The QUICK ON lamp keeps flashing during sleep mode. Press QUICK ON again to start recording next time. Your camcorder returns to recording standby in approximately 1 second.

Tips

During sleep mode, the battery is consumed at about half that of usual recording, enabling you to save battery power.

The power turns off automatically if you do not operate your camcorder for a certain period during sleep mode. You can set the time

that you want the camcorder to remain on before automatically turning off in sleep mode ([QUICK ON STBY], (p. 67)).
