maximum zoom, the horizontal resolution
decreases by a maximum of 60% of the optical
zoom.
Zooming
Zooming allows you to move visually closer to or
farther from a subject without physically changing
your position.
To Zoom In
Press the Power Zoom T (telephoto) button to get
a close-up view (Q).
To Zoom Out
Press the Power Zoom W (wide angle) button to
get a wide field of view (W).
• The zoom speed changes depending on the
degree of pressure placed on the Power Zoom
buttons.
• The on-screen display will show you the current
zoom setting.
Notes:
• The camcorder is unable to focus when zooming
in on subjects within 5 feet (1.5 m). The
camcorder will automatically zoom out until it
focuses on the subject.
• Frequent zooming produces unattractive
pictures. It also increases battery power
consumption.
Setting the Digital Zoom
You can select between two zoom ranges: normal
=1–12ן (optical) or digital = 1–12ן (optical) plus
12–30ן (digital). The digital option adds the
12–30 ן digital range to the normal zoom, allowing
you to record powerful close-up pictures using the
same zoom features as normal zoom. The zoom
option is factory preset to 1–12ן optical zoom. In
the 12–30ן zoom range, the picture quality may
suffer slightly.
