LCD Monitor And Viewfinder
While using the LCD monitor:
Make sure the viewfinder is pushed back in. Pull
on the end
A
of the LCD monitor and open the
LCD monitor fully. It can rotate 270° (90°
downward, 180° upward).
While using the viewfinder:
Make sure the LCD monitor is closed and
locked. Pull out the viewfinder fully.
NOTES:
●
The image will not appear simultaneously on the
LCD monitor and the viewfinder. When the
viewfinder is pulled out while the LCD monitor is
opened, you can select which one to use. Set
“PRIORITY” to the desired mode in SYSTEM
Menu. (
pg. 22, 24)
●
Colored bright spots may appear all over the LCD
monitor or the viewfinder. However, this is not a
malfunction. (
pg. 36)
Zooming
Produces the zoom in/out effect, or an
instantaneous change in image magnification.
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “W”.
●
The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the
quicker the zoom action.
NOTES:
●
Focusing may become unstable during Zooming.
In this case, set the zoom while in Record-
Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus
(
pg. 27), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
●
Zooming is possible to a maximum of 800X, or it
can be switched to 32X magnification using the
optical zoom. (
pg. 23)
●
Zoom magnification of over 32X is done through
Digital image processing, and is therefore called
Digital Zoom.
●
During Digital zoom, the quality of image may
suffer.
●
Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to
the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom
Lever is set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE
MACRO” in FUNCTION Menu on page 23.
●
When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom
out first. If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the
camcorder may automatically zoom out
depending on the distance between the
camcorder and the subject. This will not occur
when “TELE MACRO” is set to “ON”. (
