ZOOMING
Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle recording.
This camcorder allows you to record using optical power zoom 34x(VP-DX200(i)/DX205(i)/
DX2050 only)/26x(VP-DX210(i) only), intelli-zoom 42x(VP-DX200(i)/DX205(i)/DX2050 only)/
30x(VP-DX210(i) only) and 2200x digital zoom.
• Zoom lever is on the top of the camcorder.
• You can also use zoom function by moving the
Joystick (W/T)
up or down.
To zoom in
Slide the zoom lever towards
T
(telephoto).
To zoom out
• The farther you slide the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.
• Zoom magnification over 34x(VP-DX200(i)/DX205(i)/DX2050 only)/26x(VP-DX210(i) only)
is done through digital image processing, and is, therefore, called digital zoom. Digital
zooming is possible up to 2200x.
Set “
Zoom Type
” to the desired value.

You can set the digital zoom up to 2200x during video recording.
•
If you operate the zoom
(W/T)
lever during recording, the sound of the lever may be
recorded as well.
•
The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp
focus is about 1 cm (about 0.39 inch) for wide angle and 90cm (about 35.43 inch) for
telephoto.
•
The focus changes when zooming after focusing manually. Focus automatically or seize
the desired scene by zooming before focusing manually.

•
Optical zoom and intelli-zoom preserve the video quality, but during digital zoom the
image quality may suffer.
•
The zoom speed differs when using the
zoom (W/T) lever
and the
Joystick (W/T)
. For a
faster zoom, use the
zoom (W/T) lever
. For a slower zoom, move the
Joystick (W/T)
up
or down. The
Joystick (W/T)
is useful when zooming the subject precisely.
