• You can zoom with the zoom lever or the Control (W/T) button on the LCD panel.
• Zoom magnifi cation over 65x is done through digital image processing, and is therefore called digital
zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 2200x. Set “Zoom Type” to “Digital Zoom.” page 63
• The minimum possible distance between the camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus
is about 0.39 inch (1cm) for wide-angle and about 39.4 inches (1m) for telephoto.
• Optical zoom preserves image quality, but during digital zoom the image quality may suffer.
• Fast zooming or zooming in subject at a far distance may produce slow focusing. If this occurs,
use “Manual Focus.” page 58
• It is recommended to use Anti-Shake (HDIS) with handheld recording if the subject is zoomed in
and enlarged.
• Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
• Zooming during a recording may record operation sound of the zoom lever or zoom button.
• When using the zoom function, its speed can be decreased by slowly moving the Zoom (W/T) lever.
A fast moving increases the zoom speed. However, the Zoom (W/T) button on the display cannot
adjust the zoom speed.
