Wide-angle recording (zoom out):
Push the [W/T] lever towards [W].
Close-up recording (zoom in):
Push the [W/T] lever towards [T].

When zooming in and taking a picture while 
holding the movie camera by hand, we 
recommend using the image stabilizer function.

When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a 
sharper focus is achieved if the recording 
subject is 1.3 metres (1.2 metres on 
NV-GS25) or further from the movie camera.

When the zoom speed is high, the subject may 
not be focused easily.

When the zoom magnification is 1

k

, the movie 

camera can focus on a subject approx. 4 cm 
distant from the lens.

Digital zoom function

If the zoom magnification exceeds 30 times

 

(24

 

times

 

on NV-GS25), then the digital zoom 

function will be activated. The digital zoom 
function allows you to select a magnification from 
50
