Using the INST. ZOOM (Instant Zoom) Button
The instant zoom feature activates the digital zoom to magnify the subject 1.5 times regardless of zooming
engaged by the power zoom T and W controls.
Press the INST. ZOOM button. I. ZOOM appears at the left of the viewfinder and the picture is magnified 1.5
times.
Note: To return to the original zoom position, press the INST. ZOOM button so that I. ZOOM disappears from
the viewfinder.
Note: This instant zoom has certain limitations and may degradate at extreme magnification and amplify
camcorder's movement.

The camcorder focuses the subject in the center of the viewfinder automatically unless the manual focus is
engaged. If FOCUS appears in the viewfinder, manual focus is engaged. Press the FOCUS control buttons
simultaneously to return to auto focus.
The auto focus will not work under the following conditions and you must focus manually:
