Move the power zoom lever slightly for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom.
Notes
Be sure to keep your finger on the power zoom lever. If you move your finger off the power zoom
lever, the operation sound of the power zoom lever may also be recorded.
You cannot change the zoom speed with the
/ button on the LCD screen (models with touch
panel).
The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is
about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about 80 cm (about 31 1/2 in.) for telephoto.
