The digital zoom increases the magnification of the power zoom by 2 times. You must
place the subject you wish to magnify at the center of the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
Slide and hold the power zoom control to the "T" side until you find the picture you want.
You control the zoom with the power zoom T and W controls. When "ZOOM" is not
displayed in the viewfinder or LCD monitor, normal zoom functions resume.
Note:
This digital zoom has certain limitation and may degradate at extreme magnification
and amplify camcorder's movement.
Using the INST. ZOOM (Instant Zoom) Button
The instant zoom feature activates the digital zoom to magnify the subject 1.5 times
regardless of zooming engaged by the power zoom T and W controls.
Press the INST. ZOOM button. I. ZOOM appears at the left of the viewfinder or LCD
monitor and the picture is magnified 1.5 times.
Note:
To return to the original zoom position, press the INST. ZOOM button so that "I.
ZOOM" disappears from the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
Note:
This instant zoom has certain limitations and may degradate at extreme
magnification and amplify camcorder's movement.
Using Macro
This function allows you to shoot subjects as close as 3/8 inches (1cm). Press and hold
the power zoom control W. The camera focuses on the subject automatically. Check
your lighting as it tends to be insufficient when filming close up.
