DIGITAL ZOOM 

 

36

 

NOTES: 
• 

To return to the original zoom position, press "INST. ZOOM" so that "I.ZOOM" disappears 

from the viewfinder or LCD monitor. 
• When the instant zoom is used, the more the image is magnified, the rougher the picture 
becomes. Also even slight shaking of the camcorder is conspicuous.
