Camera recording
Note on the beep sound
As indicated with ≥ in the illustrations, a beep sounds when you turn the power on or
when you start recording, and two beeps sound when you stop recording, confirming
the operation. Several beeps also sound as a warning of any unusual condition of the
camcorder.
Note that the beep sound is not recorded on the tape. If you do not want to hear the
beep sound, select “OFF” in the menu system.
Notes on finder power save
• The recording continues even when the picture in the viewfinder disappears during
recording.
• If you set VF PW-SAVE to OFF in the menu system, the picture in the viewfinder
does not disappear even when you turn your face away from the viewfinder.
When moving from indoors to outdoors (or vice versa)
Turn STANDBY up and point the camcorder at a white object for about 15 seconds so
that the white balance is properly adjusted.
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 farther away)
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 2 5/8 feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or
about 1/2 inch (about 1 cm) away in the wide-angle position.
