Zoom lever
Tip
The further you rotate the zoom
lever, the quicker the zoom action.
Retake
You can also rerecord certain segments.
1. Make sure the camcorder is in the Record–
Standby mode.
2. Press and hold either RETAKE button to reach
the start point for new recording. Pressing
forwards the tape and pressing reverses it.
3. Press the Recording Start/Stop button to start
recording.
Note: Noise bars appear and pictures may
become monochrome or darken during
Retake. This is normal.
Digital and Optical Zooming
You can zoom in and out for close-up or wide-angle
shots by moving the zoom lever on the camcorder.
The camcorder automatically focuses at most
distances when zooming. Optical zooming is
possible up to 16 times, and digital zooming allows
up to 400 times normal magnification.
Using the Zoom Lever (W and T)
To zoom in tight (telephoto) or out wide (wide
angle), rotate the zoom lever to either T or W.
With telephoto zooming it is possible to capture
images to a maximum of 400 times normal
magnification. To do this, the camcorder uses
technology to artificially enhance the image.
Optical zoom is the natural, non-enhanced
magnification that the camcorder’s lens will support.
This camcorder has an optical zoom of 16 times
(16X).
When using the zoom lever, an icon appears on
screen to display the approximate zoom ratio.
