Using the Zoom Feature
Zooming is a'recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the scene. For more
professional-looking recordings, use the zoom sparingly.
T side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
Zooming Speed
Turn the pow«tzoom lever fully for a high-speed zoom. Turn it lightly for a relatively slow zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, turn the power zoom lever towards the
W side until the focus is sharp.
You can shoot a subject that is at least 2.6 feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto
position, or 1 / 2 inch (about 1 cm) in the wide-angle position.
Notes on Digital Zoom (for CCD-TR74/TR84/TR94 only)
You can select 12 x or 24 x of zooming.
• More than 12 x zoom is performed digitally, and the picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the
T side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom set the ZOOM function to xl2 (p. 29).
• The vertical bar in the power zoom indicator separates the digital zooming zone (right side of the bar
[a]) and the optical zooming zone (left side of the bar [b]). If you slide the ZOOM switch to xl2, the
right side of the bar
[a] disappears.
