Zooming speed (Variable speed zooming)
Move the power zoom lever a little for a slower zoom, move it further for a faster zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, move the power zoom
lever to the “W” side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least
about 80 cm away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 1 cm away in
the wide-angle position.
Notes on the digital zoom
•More than 18× zoom is performed digitally, but the picture quality deteriorates as you
move the lever toward the “T” side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom, set
the D ZOOM function to OFF in the menu system.
•The right side [a] of the power zoom indicator shows the digital zooming zone, and
the left side [b] shows the optical zooming zone. If you set the D ZOOM function to
OFF, the [a] zone disappears.
Using the zoom feature
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the
scene.
For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom function sparingly.
“T” side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
“W” side: for wide-angle (subject appears further away)
