• You can zoom in up to 30X by using the
optical zoom.
• Zoom magnifi cation over 30X is done
through digital image processing, and
is therefore called digital zoom. Digital
zooming is possible up to 800X. Set
(ZOOM) to [60X] or [800X] (੬ 20).
Optical zoom (up to 30X)
Digital zoom (up to 800X)
Notes:
• Macro shooting is possible as close as approx.
5 cm (2") to the subject when the zoom lever is
set all the way to “W”.
• When you zoom into a subject close to the
lens, the camera may automatically zoom out
depending on the distance to the subject. In
this case, set “TELE MACRO” to “ON” (੬ 20).
Recording From The Middle Of A
Tape
1 Play back a tape or use Blank Search
(੬ 17) to fi nd the spot at which you want
to start recording, then engage the Still
Playback mode (੬ 16).
2 Set the Power Switch to “REC” (੬ 9), then
start recording.
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on
the tape. This code is to confi rm the location
of the recorded scene on the tape during
playback.

(30 frames = 1
second)
* Frames are not displayed during recording.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the
time code begins counting from “00:00:00”
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from
the end of a previously recorded scene, the
time code continues from the last time code
number. If during recording a blank portion is
left partway through the tape, the time code
is interrupted. When recording is resumed,
the time code starts counting up again from
“00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may
record the same time codes as those existing
in a previously recorded scene. To prevent
this, perform Recording From The Middle Of A
Tape (੬ 15) in the following cases;
• When shooting again after playing back a
recorded tape.
• When power shuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted
during shooting.
• When shooting using a partially recorded
tape.
• When shooting on a blank portion located
partway through the tape.
• When shooting again after shooting a
scene then opening/closing the cassette
holder cover.
Notes:
• The time code cannot be reset.
• During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time
code indication does not move smoothly.
• The time code is displayed only when “TIME
CODE” is set to “ON”. (੬ 23)
