18.   Button to touch to display a screen with zoom control settings.  

 

The camcorder features a touch-sensitive screen on the LCD panel for users to review, select 
and change camcorder settings. Use your finger to navigate through the options by touching the 
icons or images on the LCD screen.  You can also scroll through the menus and settings by 
swiping your finger up and down or across the screen.  

Touch the screen gently

… sometimes 

there is a lag or no response if you don’t touch the screen in the right place.

 

 
NOTE:  Keep your fingers and hands clean for better response from the touch screen and  
to avoid scratching the screen.   

 

If you see a notation such as FUNC 

 MENU, etc., it means to touch the FUNC icon (top left of 

screen), which will then take you to a MENU of options. From that menu, you can choose 
settings such as White Balance or AGC Limit. 
Whenever you want to return to the main screen on the LCD panel, touch the “X” icon in the 
upper right corner.  Touching a “go back” arrow  returns you to 

the previous screen. 

 

 

Demonstrate how to initialize the memory card.

  (If you have already used the card in a 

CANON XA10 camera you don’t have to redo it.)
