Zooming
Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-
angle shooting. You can zoom in up to 10x by
using the optical zoom.
To zoom in
Slide the zoom lever towards T (telephoto).
To zoom out
Slide the zoom lever towards W (wide-angle).
● The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker
the zoom action.
● Zoom magnification over 10x is done through
digital image processing, and is therefore called
digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to
200x. Set [ZOOM] to [40X] or [200X]. (੬ pg. 50)
NOTES:
● Focusing may become unstable during zooming.
In this case, set the zoom before recording and
lock the focus by using the manual focus
(੬ pg. 33), then zoom in or out during recording.
● During digital zoom, the quality of image may
suffer.
● Macro shooting is possible as close as approx.
5 cm 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 pg. 50)
Angle Adjustment
Tilt the lens part at the most convenient angle.
The lens part can rotate 45° upward and
downward.
Deleting Files
If you press during recording mode, the file
recorded most recently will be deleted.
(੬ pg. 40)
● However, if the recording mode (video, still image
or voice) is switched or the power is turned off and
on again after recording, you cannot delete the
file.
