• The minimum possible distance between
camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp
focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide
angle and about 80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for
telephoto.
z Tips
• It is easier to focus on the subject by moving the
power zoom lever towards T (Telephoto) to
adjust the focus, then towards W (Wide angle)
to adjust the zoom for recording. When you
want to record a subject at close range, move the
power zoom lever to W (Wide angle), then
adjust the focus.
