DANGER

extremely hot. Do not touch
it either while in operation or
soon after turning it off,
otherwise serious injury may
result.
Ⅲ Do not place the camcorder into the
carrying case immediately after using the
video light, since it remains extremely
hot for some time.

about 30 cm (11-13/16") between the
video light and people or objects.
Ⅲ Do not use near flammable or explosive
materials.

Zooming
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
change in image magnification.
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “W”.
● The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker
the zoom action.
● Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In
this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby, lock
the focus by using the manual focus (
੬
pg. 28), then
zoom in or out in Record mode.
● Zooming is possible to a maximum of 400X, or it can
be switched to 10X magnification using the optical
zoom (
੬
pg. 32).
● 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 when digital image
processing, such as Picture Wipe/Dissolve (
੬
pg. 26,
27) or Video Echo (
੬
pg. 25), is activated.
● Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set
all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in the
Menu Screen on page 33.
Video Light
To brighten the scene when natural lighting is too dim.
Set LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON as required:
OFF
: Turns off the light.
AUTO : Automatically turns on the light when the
camcorder senses insufficient lighting on the
subject.
ON : Always keeps the light on as long as the
camcorder is turned on.
● The video light can only be used with the camcorder’s
power on.
● It is recommended to set the white balance (
੬
pg. 30)
to when you use the video light.
● When not using the video light, turn it off to save battery
power.
● Even if the battery indicator (
) does not blink due
to low battery charge, the camcorder may turn off
automatically when you turn on the video light, or
when you start recording with the video light turned
on.
● When LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON is set to “AUTO”:
• Depending on the lighting conditions, the video light
may keep turning on and off. In this case, manually
switch the light on or off using LIGHT OFF/AUTO/
ON.
• While the “SHUTTER” or “SPORTS” mode
(
੬
pg. 25) is engaged, the light is likely to stay on.
• While the “TWILIGHT” mode (
੬
pg. 25) is engaged,
the light will not activate.
• While the “Night-Alive” mode (
੬
pg. 24) is
engaged, the light will not activate.
