ZOOMING IN AND OUT
Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle recording. This camcorder
allows you to record using optical 10x power zoom and 1200x digital zoom.
You can zoom with the zoom lever or the Control (W/T) button on the LCD panel.
Zoom magnifi cation over 10x is done through digital image processing,
and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 1200x.
Set "Digital Zoom" to "On." ➥page 67
To zoom in
Slide the Zoom lever towards T (telephoto).
(Or press the Control button () on the LCD panel.)
To zoom out
Slide the Zoom lever towards W (wide-angle).
(Or press the Control button () on the LCD panel.)
The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while
maintaining sharp focus is about 5cm (about 1.96 inch) for wide-angle and 1m
(about 39.4 inch) for telephoto.
The focus changes when zooming after focussing manually.
Focus automatically or seize the desired scene by zooming before focussing
manually. ➥page 62
Optical zoom preserves image quality, but during digital zoom the image
quality may suffer.
Fast zooming or zooming in subject from afar may produce slow focussing.
In this case, use "Manual Focus." ➥page 62
It is recommended to use "Anti-Shake (HDIS)" with handheld recording if the
subject is zoomed in and enlarged.
Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
The zooming speed of the zoom lever and zoom button are different.
Use appropriately at your preference. For faster zooming adjustment, use the
zoom lever. For slower zooming adjustment, use the zoom buttons.
