ZOOMING

Zoom Wheel

The zoom wheel enables you to vary the zoom speed.

ZOOM-W and ZOOM-T

Located on the right grip, the ZOOM-W and ZOOM-T buttons enables you to zoom through with a constant speed. Pressing on ZOOM-W will widen the zoom while pressing on ZOOM-T will result in the opposite being telephoto.

Slower Zoom Speed: If so desired, the zoom speed may be reduced. Simply hold down the left grip trigger button (shift key) while pressing on the ZOOM-W or ZOOM-T buttons.

FOCUSING

The camcorder focus on the PHENOM can be set to either auto or manual focus. To toggle from auto to manual focus, hold down the left grip trigger button (shift key) while pressing on the right grip FOCUS button.

Manual Focus

In manual focus, you can:

1.Use the focus wheel to fine adjust the focus.

2.Use the right grip FOCUS button (by holding it down) to temporally auto focus. Letting go will return to manual focus.

Zoom and Focus Wheel functionality

Both the zoom and focus wheel operate in the same fashion. The wheels are spring loaded and maintain a zero (non active) position when not in use. Applying a little movement on the wheel in either directions will result in a slow speed. Increasing the movement on the wheel will accelerate the speed.
