Macro Shots

This VIEWCAM lets you shoot close-up images
of small objects such as flowers and insects, or
make title frames for your videos. When you
want to record a magnified image of a subject
which is within approximately 1.5 m of the
VIEWCAM, do not zoom in on it. Instead, zoom
out all the way by pushing the Power Zoom
control to the W side, and then move the
VIEWCAM closer to the subject until you obtain
the desired angle of view. The VIEWCAM will
automatically focus on the subject when the
lens is set for the widest angle.

Notes:
• When you are recording a macro shot, be sure

that the subject receives sufficient illumination.

• It is recommended that you use a tripod for

recording macro shots, to prevent image shakes.

Removing the Lens Hood

The lens hood can be removed (e.g. for
cleaning the lens) by rotating it in an
anticlockwise direction (Q) and then gently
pulling it off (W).
