Zooming In and Out with the Digital Zoom
✤ Your camcorder supports 10x optical and digital zooming that can produce 900x zooming in total. Zooming is a technique
that lets you change the size of the subject captured in a scene. Moderate and slow operation of the zoom helps to create
more professional looking recordings.
✤ You can zoom in and out using variable zoom speeds.
✤ Use these features for different shots.
Please note that over-use of the Zoom
feature can lead to unprofessional looking
results and faster consumption of battery
power.
1. Move the zoom lever slowly for a gradual
zoom; move it faster for a high-speed zoom.
2. The subject will appear closer when you pull
the Zoom Lever toward the T (Tele) side.
The subject appears farther away when you push the Zoom Lever toward the W (Wide) side.
✤ You can record a subject at least 80cm away from the lens surface in the TELE position, or about 4cm away from the lens
surface in the WIDE position.
✤ Frequent use of zooming may result in faster battery power consumption.
✤ Slow and smooth manipulation of Zoom lever is a very useful technique when recording. Rapid zoom movement may cause
unclear focusing, and produce motion in the clip that makes viewing uneasy.
✤ Refer to page 128 on Zooming for Camera use of this unit.
