To use the zoom feature
Move the power zoom lever a little for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom.
Using the zoom 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 ×.
The picture quality deteriorates as you move the power zoom lever towards the “T”
side.
To activate digital zoom, select the digital zoom power in [D ZOOM] in the SETUP
display (page 110). The digital zoom is set to [OFF] as the default setting.
Note
You cannot use the digital zoom to shoot still images.
Tip
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.
