Zooming
There are three ways you can zoom in and out: using the zoom lever on the camcorder, using the
zoom buttons on the wireless controller or using the zoom controls on the touch screen.
In addition to the 10x optical zoom, in
mode, you can turn on the digital zoom* (40x or 200x)
with the
7
[Digital Zoom] setting.
This camcorder also features a digital tele-converter, which allows you to enlarge the image on the
screen digitally.
* Digital zoom is not available in
and
modes.
Using the Zoom Lever or Wireless Controller
Move the zoom lever toward
Q
(wide angle) to zoom out.

• By default, the zoom lever operates at a variable speed –
press gently for a slow zoom; press harder for faster zooms.
• You can also use the zoom buttons on the wireless controller.
