Framing Assistance
Sometimes, while zooming in on a very far subject (large zoom ratio),
you might momentarily “lose” the subject as it moves out of the frame.
In this case, you can use the framing assistance function to temporarily
zoom out a little and make it easier to find the subject.
1 Press and hold [ ] to zoom out momentarily.
The original zoom position is indicated by a white frame.
2 Reframe the shot so the desired subject is within the white
frame.
You can use the zoom lever to change the size of the frame.
3 When the desired subject is correctly framed, release [ ].
The camcorder will zoom in on the area indicated by the white
frame.
When 1 > p > [Zoom Speed] is set to [Y Variable],
the zoom speed will be faster in recording standby mode than
when actually recording, except when pre-recording (A 229)
is activated.
•With the 1 > p > [Zoom Position at Startup] setting,
you can tell the camcorder to memorize the zoom position
when you turn it off, so the zoom position will be the same the
next time you turn on the camcorder.
The optional WD-H43 Wide-converter and FS-43U II Filter Set
cannot be attached to this camcorder.
