Journalistic Shooting
In some situations, different shooting angles may

the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the
most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90°
downward, 180° upward).
Self-Recording
You can shoot yourself while viewing your own image
in the LCD monitor. Open the LCD monitor and tilt it
upward 180° so that it faces forward, then point the
lens toward yourself and start recording.
Operation Mode

your preference using the Power Switch u and VIDEO/

Zooming
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
change in image magnification.
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever
& towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Slide the Power Zoom Lever
& towards “W”.
The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever &, the
quicker the zoom action.
NOTES:
Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this
case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby, lock the
focus by using the manual focus (
pg. 26), then zoom
in or out in Record mode.
Zooming is possible to a maximum of 700X, or it can be
switched to 16X magnification using the optical zoom
( pg. 28).
Zoom magnification of over 16X is done through Digital
image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.
During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/DSC
Switch
4 is set to “DSC” ( “VIDEO/DSC Switch
Position”).
Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever
& is set
all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in the Menu
Screen on page 29.
