brighten and dim.

Macro Shots
This camcorder lets you shoot close-up images
of small objects such as flowers and insects, or
make title frames for your videos. When you
want to record a magnified image of a subject
which is within approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) of
the camcorder, do not zoom in on the subject.
Instead, zoom out all the way by holding down
the Power Zoom W button, and then move the
camcorder closer to the subject until you obtain
the desired angle of view. The camcorder will
automatically focus on the subject when the
lens is set for the widest angle.
Notes:
• When you are recording a macro shot, be sure that
the subject receives sufficient illumination.
• It is recommended that you use a tripod for
recording macro shots to prevent image shake.
