Note on remaining tape indicator
The indicator may not be displayed accurately depending on the tape. Though the
indicator does not appear at the time of recording, it will appear in a few seconds.
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)
Press the power zoom switch a little for a relatively slow zoom; press it still more for a
high-speed zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, press the “W” side of
the power zoom switch 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.
Notes on digital zoom
• More than 10x zoom is performed digitally, and the picture quality deteriorates as
you go 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.
