The Hitachi VM-H71A offers a diverse group of features that add interest 
and excitement to your video. Adding fades to smooth transitions creates 
videos with a professional look. 
As you learn and practice with these features think of situations that they 
might fit in and add a special touch. 
Using the Power Zoom 
The power zoom W control widens the picture, moving the subject farther 
away, while the power zoom T control brings the subject closer, narrowing 
the picture. If ZOOM appears at the left of the viewfinder, the digital zoom 
function shown below has been engaged. 
 
When the power zoom switch is operated, the zoom position is displayed 
in the viewfinder for about 5 seconds and then disappears. The zoom 
position is displayed in 10 steps. 
Pressing the power zoom switch strongly results in rapid zooming and 
pressing it lightly results in slow zooming. 
Note: You can use the zoom switch on the remote control though it provides 
only low-speed zooming; it cannot change the zoom speed.
