NOTES
• Keep at least 1 m away from the subject. At full wide angle, you can
focus on a subject as close as 1 cm. Using tele macro (
A
105), you
can focus on a subject as close as 50 cm at full telephoto.
• In
or
mode, you can also set
p
>
[Zoom Speed] to
one of three constant speeds (3 is the fastest, 1 the slowest). When
[Zoom Speed] is set to [
Y
Variable], the zoom speed will be faster in
record pause mode than when actually recording, except when pre-
recording (
A
98) is activated.
[
Optical]
For optical zoom, the camcorder uses the optical
magnification ratio of the lens.
[
Advanced]
For advanced zoom, the camcorder processes
the image beyond the range of the optical zoom to obtain a
larger zoom without any deterioration in image quality. At full wide
angle, the angle of view with advanced zoom is wider than the
angle of view with optical zoom.
[
Digital]
(
)
[
Digital])
For digital zoom (light blue area
on the zoom bar), the image is processed digitally so image qual-
ity will deteriorate the more you zoom in. When you are using dig-
ital zoom (zoom position is within the light blue area on the zoom
bar), photos cannot be taken.
