Zooming

Zooming allows you to move visually closer to
or farther from a subject without physically
changing your position.

To Zoom In
Push the Power Zoom control to the T
(telephoto) side to get a close-up view (Q).

To Zoom Out
Push the Power Zoom control to the W (wide
angle) side to get a wide field of view (W).

• The on-screen display shows you the current

zoom setting.

• The zoom speed changes depending on how far

you push the Power Zoom control.

Notes:
• The VIEWCAM is unable to focus when zooming

in on subjects within 1.5 m. The VIEWCAM will
automatically zoom out until it is able to focus on
the subject. (See page 34 for recording macro
shots.)

• See page 25 for use of the digital zoom.

Tips on Recording Positions

The rotating LCD monitor screen lets you enjoy
easy video recording in a more relaxed posture
without having to hold the VIEWCAM up to your
eye. The LCD monitor also makes it easier to
record high-angle and low-angle shots.

Holding the VIEWCAM

Put the fingers of your right hand through the hand
strap, and place your right thumb close to the REC
START/STOP button and Power Zoom control.
Place your left thumb on the thumb rest on the left
side of the LCD monitor.

Press your elbows
against your sides.

Place your feet at a

45° angle and

balance your weight

on both legs.

Basic Posture

You can record while still
viewing the screen. This is
convenient when you want
to record over a crowd.

High Angle

Put one knee on the
ground for the best
stability.

Low Angle

Notes:
• In hand-held recording, the VIEWCAM has to be

steadied to prevent image shakes. For very
stable recording, use a tripod.

• Take care not to touch the microphone with your

fingers during recording. It will cause noise on
the audio track.
