.
Move the power zoom lever D slightly for
a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster
zoom.
z Tips
• The minimum distance required between your
camcorder and the subject for focus is about 1
cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about
80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for telephoto.
• The focus may not be adjusted at certain zoom
positions if the subject is within 80 cm (about 2
5/8 feet) from your camcorder.
• When you set [FOCUS MACRO] to [OFF], you
cannot focus on a subject within 80 cm (about 2
5/8 feet) regardless of the zoom position (p. 71).
• Be sure to keep your finger on the power zoom
lever D. If you move your finger off the power
zoom lever D, the operation sound of the
power zoom lever D may also be recorded.
• You can increase the zoom speed of the zoom
lever D or the handle zoom A ([SPEED
ZOOM], p. 71).
1 Set the handle zoom switch B to VAR
or FIX.
z Tips
• When you set the handle zoom switch B to
VAR, you can zoom in or out at variable
speed.
• When you set the handle zoom switch B to
FIX, you can zoom in or out at fixed speed
set in [HANDLE ZOOM] (p. 71).
2 Press the handle zoom lever A to zoom
in or out.
b Notes
• You cannot use the handle zoom lever A when
the handle zoom switch B is set to OFF.

lever D with the handle zoom switch
B.
You can zoom at the desired speed by
turning the zoom ring C. Fine adjustment
is also possible.
b Notes
• Turn the zoom ring C at a moderate speed. If
you turn it too fast, the zoom speed may lag
behind the zoom ring rotation speed, or the
operation sound of the zoom may also be
recorded.
