POINTS TO CHECK
: In addition to the 35x optical
zoom, the digital zoom (up to 1000x) is
also available (
37).
35x Optical Zoom
Move the zoom lever toward
W to
zoom out (wide-angle). Move it toward
T to zoom in (telephoto).
You can also change the zoom speed
(
37). You can select one of three fixed
zoom speeds or a variable speed that
depends on how you operate the zoom
lever: Press gently for a slow zoom; press
harder for faster zooms.
NOTES
You can also use
the T and W buttons on the wireless controller.
The zoom speed with the wireless controller will
be the same as with the camcorder (when one
of the fixed zoom speed levels is selected) or
fixed at [SPEED 3] (when [VARIABLE] is
selected).
When set to [VARIABLE], the zoom speed will
be faster in the record pause mode.
Keep at least 1 m to the subject. At wide-angle,
you can focus on a subject as close as 1 cm.
Quick Start Function

never have to miss out on those great
and fleeting opportunities to take a picture
or record video. When you press
instead of turning off the
camcorder, you can get it ready to start
recording within approx. 1 second.
POINTS TO CHECK

Start ready mode while recording.
