MACRO RECORDING
Use the macro function when recording a small object from close-up position: You can shoot the
subject as close as approximately 13/16” (2 cm) from the lens surface, magnifying the image to fill
the screen.
1 Aim the DVD video camera/recorder at the
subject, and press the zoom lever to “W”
control side.
Note:
Zoom can be used, but the subject may not be
focused, depending on the distance to the subject. In
this case, move the zoom to “W” control side to focus.
The amount of light tends to be insufficient during
macro recording: If the subject image is too dark, use
additional lighting.
RECORDING SUBJECTS FOR STRONGER WIDE-ANGLE OR TELEPHOTO
EFFECT
Use the tele-conversion lens or wide-conversion lens with the following filter diameter and thread
pitch to record subjects for stronger telephoto or wide-angle effect:
Filter diameter: 34 mm for DZ-GX20MA, DZ-MV750MA or DZ-BX31A; 30.5 mm for DZ-
MV780MA
Thread pitch: 0.5 mm
When attaching the optional DZ-TL1 tele-conversion lens or DZ-WL1 wide-conversion lens, use the
optional step-up ring: DZ-SR3437 for DZ-GX20MA, DZ-MV750MA or DZ-BX31A; DZ-SR3037 for
DZ-MV780MA (see page 162).
1 Remove the lens hood from DVD video
camera/recorder, and attach the step-up ring
over the lens.
2 Remove the cap of conversion lens, and screw
the lens into the thread of step-up ring.
Note:
Be careful not to lose the removed lens hood.
With DZ-TL1 tele-conversion lens, the focusing range
at “T” (telephoto) control side is between approx.
16 feet (5 m) and infinite.
When a conversion lens is attached, note that the four
corners of screen will be slightly dim if you zoom in on
a subject on the W control side (wide-angle side).
When replacing the lens, take care not to drop the
DVD video camera/recorder.
Attaching the conversion lens will disable the function
of the built-in flash (for DZ-GX20MA only): Specify
“Flash: Off” (see page 79).
If a generally available filter is attached, do not attach
the removed lens hood.
Tele-conversion lens: For stronger telephoto effect
Wide-conversion lens: For stronger wide-angle effect
