Recording a picture

Using the zoom feature

Move the power zoom lever a little for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom. Using the zoom function sparingly results in better-looking recordings.

Notes on digital zoom

•Digital zoom starts to function when zoom exceeds 25⋅ (DCR-TRV240/TRV340)/15⋅ (DCR-TRV740/TRV840).

•The picture quality deteriorates as you go towards the “T” side.

When you shoot close to a subject

If you cannot get a sharp focus, move the power zoom lever to the “W” side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 80 cm (about 2 feet 5/8 inch) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 1 cm (about 1/2 inch) away in the wide-angle position.

When the POWER switch is set to MEMORY (except DCR-TRV240)

You cannot use the digital zoom.
