ª Concerning the focusing area
When there is a contrasting object ahead or
behind the subject in the focus area, the subject
may not be focused. If so, move the contrasting
object out of the focus area.
Even when it is still difficult to focus, adjust the
focus manually.
Zoom in/out function
You can zoom in up to 12k optically.
Set to Tape/Card Recording Mode.
1 Wide-angle recording (zoom out):
Push the [W/T] lever towards [W].
Close-up recording (zoom in):
Push the [W/T] lever towards [T].
When zooming in and taking a picture while
holding the Camcorder by hand, we recommend
using the image stabilizer function.
When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a
sharper focus is achieved if the recording
subject is 1.2 m (3.9 feet) or further from the
Camcorder.
When the zoom speed is high, the subject may
not be focused easily.
When the zoom magnification is 1k, the
Camcorder can focus on a subject approx.
4.0 cm (1.6 inches) away from the lens.
ª
Digital zoom function
If the zoom magnification exceeds 12 times, then
the digital zoom function will be activated. The
digital zoom function allows you to select a
magnification from 30k to 700k.
Set to Tape Recording Mode.
1 Set [ADVANCED] >> [D.ZOOM] >> [30k] or
[700k].
[OFF]: Optical zoom only (Up to 12k)
[30k]: Digital zoom (Up to 30k)
[700k]: Digital zoom (Up to 700k)
The larger the digital zoom magnification, the
more the image quality is degraded.
When the Card Recording mode is used, the
digital zoom function cannot be used.
ª
About the variable speed zoom
function
When pushing the [W/T] lever as far as it will go,
you can zoom from 1k to 12k in 1.7 seconds
(maximum).
The zoom speed varies according to the amount
of movement of the [W/T] lever.
The variable speed zoom function cannot be
used with the remote control or the Magic Wire
Remote Control.
ª
To use the zoom microphone function
Interlocked with the zooming operation, the
microphone will clearly capture sounds far away
with the tele-shot or those in the vicinity with the
wide-angle shot.
Set to Tape Recording Mode.
1 Set [ADVANCED] >> [ZOOM MIC] >> [ON].
