Notes:
When zooming, as a rule, keep at least 1 m (3 ft 3
3
/8 in) between you and your
subject. However when the zoom is at the wide-angle position, you can focus
on a subject as close as 1 cm (
3
/8 in).
Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than
22×/18×.
You cannot use digital zoom in the Night recording program.
You cannot use digital zoom when the multi-image screen is set. The display
becomes “– – –”.
The zoom indicator appears for 4 seconds. When the digital zoom is set to
88×/72×, the zoom indicator extends (light blue). When the digital zoom is set
to 440×/360× zoom, the zoom indicator extends again (a darker blue).
Magnifies the camcorder’s zoom range by up to 20× in TAPE CAMERA mode.
The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out
between 1× and 360× magnification — the camcorder automatically switches
between optical zooming (up to 18×) and digital zooming (18× to 72× or 18× to
360×).
