Zoom Type
Description and use
Optical
37x
The optical magnification ratio of the lens. Used for recording movies
only when
[Image Stabilizer] is set to [
Dynamic] or when
[Widescreen] is set to [
Off] and for recording photos.
Advanced
41x
The camcorder processes the image beyond the range of the optical
zoom to obtain a larger zoom without any deterioration in image
quality. Used for recording movies in all cases but the two exceptions
above.
Digital
2000x
* You can activate it with the
[Digital Zoom] setting. When set to
[
On] and only while recording movies, the camcorder will switch
to digital zoom (light blue area on the zoom indicator) when you zoom
in beyond the optical zoom range (white area on the zoom indicator).
With the digital zoom, the image is processed digitally so image
quality will deteriorate the more you zoom in.
