NOTES
• The range of the advanced zoom will
change depending on the aspect ratio of
the scene
( 30).
• Advanced zoom cannot be
selected if [WIDESCREEN] is set to
[ OFF].
Using the Zoom
Move the zoom lever toward W to
zoom out (wide-angle). Move it
toward T to zoom in (telephoto).
Press gently for slower zooms; press
harder for faster zooms. You can also
set [ZOOM SPEED] ( 68) to one of
three constant speeds (3 is the fastest, 1
the slowest).
NOTES
• Keep at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) away from the
subject. At full wide-angle, you can focus
on a subject as close as 1 cm (0.39 in.).
• When [ZOOM SPEED] is set to
[ VARIABLE], the zoom speed will be
faster in record pause mode than when
actually recording.

[OPTICAL] (37x)
The zoom range is limited to the optical
magnification ratio of the lens.
[ADVANCED]
(Advanced Zoom)
In addition to the optical zoom range, the
camcorder processes the image digitally to obtain
a larger zoom range without any deterioration in
image quality. When recording movies with a
16:9 aspect ratio, the angle of view will change.
Refer to the table in the NOTES section.
[DIGITAL] (2000x)
When this option is selected, the camcorder will
switch to digital zoom (light blue area on the
zoom indicator) when you zoom in beyond the
optical zoom range (white area on the zoom
indicator). With the digital zoom the image is
processed digitally so image quality will
deteriorate the more you zoom in.
