You can magnify images up to 40 times the
original size with the power zoom lever or
the zoom buttons on the LCD frame.
Move the power zoom lever slightly for a
slower zoom. Move it further for a faster
zoom.
b Notes
• [STEADYSHOT] may not reduce image
blurring as desired when the power zoom lever
is set to the T (Telephoto) side.
• Be sure to keep your finger on the power zoom
lever. If you move your finger off the power
zoom lever, the operation sound of the power
zoom lever may also be recorded.
• You cannot change the zoom speed with the
zoom buttons on the LCD frame.
• The minimum possible distance between
camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp
focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide
angle and about 80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for
telephoto.
z Tips
• You can set [D ZOOM] (p. 37) if you want to
zoom to a level greater than 40 ×.

your fingers or other objects. Remove the
conversion lens (optional) if it is attached.
• Adjust the focus manually ([FOCUS], p. 28)
when it is hard to focus automatically.
• Do not use the NightShot plus function in bright
places. This may cause a malfunction.
