Journalistic Shooting
In some situations, different shooting angles may
provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in
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.

your preference using the Power Switch 8.

clockwise.

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 (
੬ pg. 19), 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
(
੬ pg. 21).
● 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.
● Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject)
is possible when the Power Zoom Ring
9 is turned all
the way clockwise. Also see “TELE MACRO” in the Menu
Screen on page 22.
