ZOOMING IN AND OUT
Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle recording. This camcorder
allows you to record using 52x optical power zoom, 65x Intelli-zoom and 2200x
digital zoom.
To zoom in
Slide the Zoom lever towards
T
(telephoto).
(Or press the
Control
button (
) on the LCD panel.)
To zoom out
Slide the Zoom lever towards
W
(wide-angle).
(Or press the
Control
button (
) on the LCD panel.)
You can zoom with the zoom lever or the
Control
(W/T) button on the LCD panel.
Zoom magnifi cation over 65x is done through digital image processing, and is
therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 2200x.
Set

The minimum possible distance between the camcorder and subject while
maintaining sharp focus is about 1cm (about 0.39 inch) for wide-angle and
1m (about 39.4 inches) for telephoto.
Optical zoom preserves image quality, but during digital zoom the image
quality may suffer.
Fast zooming or zooming in subject at a far distance may produce slow
focussing. If this occurs, use
"Manual Focus."

It is recommended to use
Anti-Shake (OIS) with handheld recording if the
subject is zoomed in and enlarged.
Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
Zooming during a recording may record operation sound of the zoom lever
or zoom button.
When using the zoom function, its speed can be decreased by slowly moving
the Zoom (W/T) lever. A fast moving increases the zoom speed. However, the
Zoom (W/T) button on the display cannot adjust the zoom speed.
