Zooming
Produces the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
change in image magnification.
Zoom In
Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring
towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring
towards “W”.
● The further you turn the Power Zoom Ring, 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
(੬ pg. 43), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
● Zooming is possible to a maximum of 200X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the
optical zoom. (੬ pg. 35)
● 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.
● Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/
MEMORY Switch is set to “MEMORY”.
● Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Ring is
set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in
MANUAL Menu on page 36.
● For other notes, ੬ pg. 64.
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 270º (90º downward,
180º upward).
Interface Shooting
The person you shoot
can view himself/
herself in the LCD
monitor, and you can
even shoot yourself
while viewing your
own image in the LCD
monitor.
1) Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180º
so that it faces forward.
● When the LCD monitor is tilted upward to an
angle of over approx. 105º, the monitor image
is inverted vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled
out at that time, it also switches on.
2) Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when
self-recording) and start recording.
● During Interface Shooting, the monitor image
and indications do not appear inverted as they
would when viewing a mirror.
