Recording
Chapter 3 39
Notes:
• While zooming, focusing may become
unstable. If so, set the zoom while in
record-standby mode and adjust the
image using manual focus (see page 66).
Once the focus is set, zoom the
camcorder in or out while recording.
• The zoom level icon moves during zoom.
Once it reaches the top of the zoom icon
bar, all magnification from that point is
through digital processing.
• During digital zoom, the quality of
image may suffer.
Using Digital Zoom
You can use digital zoom to magnify images to a
maximum of 400 times normal magnification.
