Recording – Basics
Brightness of the LCD screen
You can adjust the brightness of the LCD screen. Select LCD B.L. or LCD BRIGHT in the
menu settings (p. 79). Even if you adjust the LCD B.L. or LCD BRIGHT, the recorded
picture will not be affected.
After recording
(1) Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG).
(2) Close the LCD panel.
(3) Eject the cassette.
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.
“T” side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
“W” side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
Zoom greater than 25× is performed digitally. To activate digital zoom, select the digital
zoom power in D ZOOM in the menu settings. (p. 79)
The picture quality deteriorates as the picture is processed digitally.
Notes on digital zoom
•Digital zoom starts to function when zoom exceeds 25×.
•The picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the “T” side.
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.
Recording a picture
