When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper focus
is achieved if the recording subject is 1.2 m (3.9 feet) or
further from the camera-recorder.
≥
When the zoom speed is high, the subject may not be
focused easily.
≥
When the zoom magnification is 1
k
, the camera-recorder can
focus on a subject approx. 4 cm (1.6 inches) distant from the
lens.

If the zoom magnification exceeds 10 times, then the digital
zoom function will be activated. The digital zoom function
allows you to select a magnification from 20

The zoom speed varies according to the amount of movement
of the [W/T] lever.

The variable speed zoom function cannot be used with the
remote control and sub zoom lever.
