DIGITAL ZOOM
You can select the maximum zoom level in case you want to zoom to a level
greater than 12 times while recording on a tape. Note that the image quality
decreases when you are using the digital zoom. This function is useful when
recording enlarged pictures of a distant subject, such as a bird.
16:9 WIDE
You can record a 16:9 wide picture on the tape to watch on a 16:9 wide-screen TV
([16:9WIDE] mode).
With this function [ON], your camcorder offers even wider angles when you
move the power zoom lever to the “W” side than recording in [OFF].
When you connect your camcorder to a TV compatible with the ID-1/ID-2 system
and play the tape, the TV switches to full mode automatically.
Refer also to the manuals supplied with your TV.
