ZOOMING IN AND OUT
Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle recording.
This memory camcorder allows you to record using optical 34x power zoom
and 1200x digital zoom.
You can zoom with the zoom lever or the
Control
(W/T) button on the LCD panel.
The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.
Zoom magnification over 34x is done through digital image processing,
and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 1200x.
