Using the Zoom Function
This ViviCam 8400 is equipped with a 3x optical zoom lens allowing you to capture telephoto or wide-
angle shots. By using the optical zoom function, images appear closer by pressing the button, or
smaller by pressing the button.
You can further enlarge the subjects with 4x digital zoom by continuing to hold the zoom button. This can
be a useful feature, however the more the image is magnified with the digital zoom, the grainier the
resulting image will be.
To capture a zoomed image, perform the following steps:
1. Press the button to turn on the power.
2. Adjust the magnification ratio by using the / button.
To access the optical zoom function, press the button as
far as it can go. Press it again to activate the digital zoom.
To exit the zoom photography, press continuously the
button.
The status of digital magnification is displayed on the LCD
monitor.
3. Compose your scene and press the shutter button.
The digital magnification ranges from 1.0x to 4.0x.
As you record video clips, the zoom function cannot be activated.
