Using the zoom feature
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the
scene.
For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom function sparingly.
"T” side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
"W" side; for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
When you shoot a subject using the telephoto zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, move the zoom lever
to the "W" side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 55
1 /8 in. (140 cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 15 3/4 in.
(40 cm) away in the wide-angle position. When you shoot a subject closer than about 15
3/4 in. (40 cm), we recommend you shoot in macro.
Shooting a subject closer - Macro
Even small subjects, such as flowers, insects, and images in photographs, can literally
fill the screen in macro. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 10 cm (4 in.) away
from the lens surface in macro.
We recommend you to use a tripod when shooting in macro.
(1) Bring the camcorder as close as necessary to obtain the desired subject size.
