Zooming In and Out
✤
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in a
scene.
For more professional looking recordings, do not use the zoom function too often.
✤
You can zoom using variable zoom speeds.
✤
Use these features for different shots. Please note that over-use of the zoom feature
can lead to unprofessional looking results and a reduction of battery usage time.
1. Move the zoom lever slightly for a gradual zoom, move it further for a
high-speed zoom.
Your zooming is monitored on the OSD.
2. T(Telephoto) side: Subject appears closer.
3. W(Wide angle) side: Subject appears farther away.
■
You can record a subject that is about 10mm (about 0.5 inch)
away from the lens surface in the WIDE position.

may be out of focus.

■
Avoid shadows when recording in the TELE MACRO mode.

As the distance to the subject decreases, focusing area narrows.
