Close view: (Telephoto)

zTips

•The minimum distance required between your camcorder and the subject for focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about 80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for telephoto.

•The focus may not be adjusted at certain zoom positions if the subject is within 80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) from your camcorder.

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

Using the zoom ring

You can zoom at the desired speed by turning the zoom ring D. Fine adjustment is also possible.

bNotes

•Turn the zoom ring D at a moderate speed. If you turn it too fast, the zoom speed may lag behind the zoom ring rotation speed, or the operation sound of the zoom may also be recorded.
