Tips
• When focusing, the minimum distance required
between the camcorder and the subject is about
1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about
80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for telephoto.
• The focus may not be adjusted at certain zoom
positions if the subject is within 80 cm (about
2 5/8 feet) from your camcorder.
• Be sure to keep your finger on the power zoom
lever A / C . If you move your finger off the
power zoom lever A / C , the operation sound
of the power zoom lever may also be recorded.
If you set the RING SETTING to ZOOM,
you can adjust the zoom by rotateing the
Manual ring
B (p. 33).
b Notes
• Turn the Manual ring B at a moderate speed. If
you turn it too fast, the zoom speed may lag
behind the Manual ring rotation speed, or the
operation sound of the zoom may also be
recorded.
