to produce a cinema-like “wide-screen” effect. If a snapshot
(
Z
pg. 20, 23) is taken while the camcorder is in the WIDE
mode, the snapshot image is recorded without the black bars at
the top and bottom of the screen.
MAX

convenient to shoot the subject with a brighter image even if the
picture becomes slightly coarse.
NORMAL
To record a subject in a dimly lit environment, when it is more
convenient to shoot with a less coarse picture although the
subject becomes slightly dark. This setting is suitable for
measuring sensitivity conforming to EIA-639 (EIA* Standard for
Low Light Sensitivity Measurement).

OFF
Allows you to shoot dark scenes with no picture brightness
adjustment.
Allows you to superimpose one of eight preset titles (
Z
pg. 33).
Makes the date/time settings appear in the camcorder or on a connected monitor
(
Z
pg. 33).
ON
Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and
magnifying images, zooming is possible from 16X (the optical
zoom limit), to a maximum of 400X digital magnification.
OFF
Digital Zoom is not available. Only optical zoom (maximum
16x magnification) can function. When set to “OFF” during
Digital Zoom, zoom magnification changes to 16X.
Usually the distance to a subject where the lens is in focus
depends on the zoom magnification. Unless there is a distance of
more than 1 m (3.25 ft.) to the subject, the lens is out of focus at
the maximum telephoto setting. When set to “ON”, you can
shoot a subject as large as possible at a distance of approx. 60 cm
(23-5/8").
• Depending on the zoom position, the lens may go out of focus.
