FEATURE:
Zooming
PURPOSE:
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instanta-
neous change in image magnification.
OPERATION:
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. 29), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
Zooming is possible to a maximum of 500X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the
optical zoom (
pg. 33).
Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through
Digital image processing, and is therefore called
Digital Zoom.
During Digital zoom, the quality of image may
suffer.
Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm 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 34.
FEATURE:
Video Light
PURPOSE:
To brighten the scene when natural lighting is too
dim.
OPERATION:
Set LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON as required:
OFF : Turns off the light.
AUTO: Automatically turns on the light when the
camcorder senses insufficient lighting on
the subject.
ON : Always keeps the light on as long as the
camcorder is turned on.
The video light can only be used with the
camcorders power on.
It is recommended to set the white balance
( pg. 31) to when you use the video light.
When not using the video light, turn it off to save
battery power.
NOTES:
Even if the battery indicator ( ) does not blink due
to low battery charge, the camcorder may turn off
automatically when you turn on the video light, or
when you start recording with the video light turned
on.
When LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON is set to AUTO:
Depending on the lighting conditions, the video
light may keep turning on and off. In this case,
manually switch the light on or off using LIGHT
OFF/AUTO/ON.
While the SHUTTER or SPORTS mode
(
pg. 25) is engaged, the light is likely to stay on.
While the TWILIGHT mode (
pg. 25) is
engaged, the light will not activate.
While the Night-Scope mode (
pg. 24) is
engaged, the light will not activate.

DANGER
The video light can become extremely
hot. Do not touch it either while in
operation or soon after turning it off,
otherwise serious injury may result.
Do not place the camcorder into the
carrying case immediately after using the video light,
since it remains extremely hot for some time.
When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
between the video light and people or objects.
Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.
Do not place the camcorder in a cabinet or box while
the video light is in operation.
When using the video light, if you wish to install the
camcorder in a fixed position, attach it to a tripod, etc.
Do not affix it directly to a surface such as a table top.
It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC
dealer for replacing the video light.
