The DV camera can operate in four different modes.
Each mode offers different features and functions. In
this section you will learn what each mode is for and
how to use them.
This section also covers how to use the DV camera as
web cam and how to download your pictures, videos,
and audio samples from the DV camera to your hard
disk.
Modes
Zoom
The DV camera is equipped with a digital zoom
function. You can zoom in on distant images by pressing
the button on the rear of the DV camera. Use the
button to zoom back out.
Macro
The DV is a fixed focus DV camera but there is a
manual focusing function that you can adjust to get the
best results. Move the Macro-Normal switch all the way
to the macro setting when taking pictures of very close
subjects. Move the Macro-Normal switch to the other
end of the scale when taking pictures of far away
subjects.
For most pictures, the Macro-Normal switch should be
left in the middle of the range but you should practice
taking pictures with different focusing settings to
achieve the best results.
When the Macro-Normal switch is in the macro position,
an icon will appear on the LCD screen to warn you.
