Zooming
The camcorder offers three types of zoom - optical, advanced and dig-
ital. For optical zoom, the camcorder uses the optical magnification
ratio of the lens. For advanced zoom, the camcorder processes the
image beyond the range of the optical zoom to obtain a larger zoom
without any deterioration in image quality. For digital zoom, the image
is processed digitally so image quality will deteriorate the more you
zoom in.
In
mode, select the type using the
