Press ZOOM button.
Press T for telephoto (subject appears closer) and W for wide-angle (subject appears

Recording a still image
You can record a still image on a tape or “Memory Stick” by pressing PHOTO button.
(Some models, however, can only record onto a tape, even if a “Memory Stick” can be
inserted.) Note that pressing PHOTO button lightly does not allow you to check the
recorded image. For more details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your
camcorder.
To keep a subject in focus
Press AUTO FOCUS ON/OFF button to set it to OFF. You can still keep the subject in
focus even if fish swim between the camcorder and the subject. Press AUTO FOCUS
ON/OFF button again to set the camcorder to auto focus mode.
Note
Do not cover the control emitter or detector with your finger as the remote control
signal for operations is transmitted from the grip to the marine pack.
