• When activated, the camcorder will
switch automatically to the digital
zoom when you zoom in beyond the
optical zoom range.
• With the digital zoom the image is
digitally processed, so the image
resolution will deteriorate the more
you zoom in.
• About the color of the zoom indicator:
Oo D
White Light Dark
blue blue
Upto 10x 10x- 40x-
40x 200x

for a slow zoom; press harder for
faster zooms.

achieved with [i_Z_IVARIABLE].
Among the fixed zoom speeds,

changing the focus from a near
subject to a far subject in the
background, or when recording fast-
moving subjects.

Tele-converter is attached to the
camcorder, it may partially obstruct
the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF

when you are using the manual focus.

not affect the recordings. The focus
assist function will be cancelled when
you start recording.
