VIDEO RECORDING (cont.)

Journalistic Shooting

In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° down- ward, 180° upward).

Interface Shooting

 

The person you shoot can view himself/herself in the LCD monitor, and

 

you can even shoot yourself while viewing your own image in the LCD

 

monitor.

 

Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180° so that it faces forward.

 

When the LCD monitor is tilted upward to an angle of over approx. 105°,

 

the monitor image is inverted vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled out at

 

that time, it also switches on.

Self-Recording

Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self-recording) and start

 

recording.

 

During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and indications do not

 

appear inverted as they would when viewing a mirror.

FEATURE: Zooming

PURPOSE:

To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous change in image magnification.

OPERATION:

Zoom In

Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring anti- clockwise.

Zoom Out

Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring clockwise.

The further you turn the Power Zoom Ring the quicker the zoom action.

NOTES:

Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus

( pg. 52), then zoom in or out in Record mode.

Zooming is possible to a maximum of 100X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 40).

Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.

During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.

Digital zoom cannot be used in the following cases:

When digital image processing, such as Picture Wipe/Dissolve ( pg. 49, 50) or Video Echo ( pg. 48), is activated.

Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Ring is turned all the way clockwise. Also see “TELE MACRO” in the Menu Screen on page 40.
