Using the INST. ZOOM (Instant Zoom) Button
The instant zoom feature activates the digital zoom to magnify the subject 1.5 times
regardless of zooming engaged by the power zoom T and W controls.
Press the INST. ZOOM button. "I. ZOOM" appears at the left of the viewfinder or LCD
monitor and the picture is magnified 1.5 times.
Note: To return to the original zoom position, press the INST. ZOOM button so that "I.
ZOOM" disappears from the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
Note: This instant zoom has certain limitations and may degradate at extreme magnification
and amplify camcorder's movement.
Using Macro
This function allows you to shoot subjects as close as 3/8 inches (1cm). Press and hold
the power zoom control W. The camera focuses on the subject automatically. Check
your lighting as it tends to be insufficient when filming close up.
Active Screen
The camcorder automatically brightens the backlight of the LCD monitor when you are
recording a bright subject outdoors, so that the LCD screen is easy to see.
Note: When you record a bright subject outdoors, the camcorder operating time will be less
