15x Optical Zoom
Move the zoom lever toward W (wide
angle) to zoom out. Move it toward T
(telephoto) to zoom in.
By default, the zoom lever operates at a
variable speed – press gently for a slow
zoom; press harder for faster zooms.
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
1cm (0.39in.).
In or mode, you can also
set / [Zoom Speed]
( 137) to one of three constant
speeds (3 is the fastest, 1 the slowest).
When [Zoom Speed] is set to [ Variable]:
- When you use the T and W buttons on the wireless controller or LCD
panel, the zoom speed will be constant at [ Speed 3].
- The zoom speed will be faster in record pause mode than when
actually recording, except when pre-recording ( 68) is activated.
Quick Start Function
When you close the LCD panel with the camcorder on, the camcorder
enters the standby mode. In standby mode the camcorder consumes
only about 1/3 the power used when recording, saving energy when
you are using a battery pack. Additionally, when you open the LCD
panel, the camcorder is ready to start recording in approximately
1 second*, allowing you to record the subject right away.
* The actual time required varies depending on the shooting conditions.
1 With the camcorder on and in a recording mode, close the LCD
panel.
