[
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]
(
9
[
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.
