Using the zoom feature
Move the power zoom lever a little for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom.
Using the zoom function sparingly results in better-looking recordings.
W: For wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
T : For telephoto (subject appears closer)
To use zoom greater than 10×
Zoom greater than 10× is performed digitally. Digital zoom can be set to 20 × or 120 ×.
To activate digital zoom, select the digital zoom power in D ZOOM in the menu
settings (p. 177). The digital zoom function is set to OFF as a default setting.
When you shoot close to a subject
If you cannot get a sharp focus, 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 (about 2 feet 5/8 inch)
away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 1 cm (about 1/2 inch)
away in the wide-angle position.
Note on digital zoom
The picture quality deteriorates as you move the power zoom lever towards the T
side.
When the POWER switch is set to MEMORY (except DCR-TRV16)
