Zooming:
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an
instantaneous change in image magnification.
Digital circuitry extends the maximum magnification offered
by optical zoom. This system is called Digital Zoom.
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. 45), then
zoom in or out in Record mode.
● The zoom level indicator (5) moves during zoom.
Once the zoom level indicator reaches the top of the
zoom indicator bar, all magnification from that point is
through digital processing.
● When using Digital Zoom, the quality of image may
suffer. To deactivate Digital Zoom, set “D.ZOOM” to
“OFF” in SYSTEM MENU (
੬
pg. 41).
● Digital zoom cannot be used when the “VIDEO
ECHO” mode (
੬
pg. 39) is activated.
Picture Stabilizer:
To compensate for unstable
images caused by camera-shake, particularly at high
magnification.
1) Press P. STABILIZER. “
” appears.
2) To switch off the Picture Stabilizer, press
P. STABILIZER. The indicator disappears.
● Accurate stabilization may not be possible if hand shake
is excessive, or under the following conditions:
•
When shooting subjects with vertical or horizontal
stripes.
• When shooting dark or dim subjects.
• When shooting subjects with excessive backlighting.
• When shooting scenes with movement in various
directions.
• When shooting scenes with low-contrast backgrounds.
● Switch off the Picture Stabilizer when recording with
the camcorder on a tripod.
● The “
” indicator appears blinking if the Stabilizer
cannot be used.
● This function cannot be activated during the “Night-
Alive” (
੬
pg. 36), “CLASSIC FILM”, “STROBE” and
“VIDEO ECHO” mode (
੬
pg. 39).
