ZOOMING

This camcorder allows you to record using optical X10 zoom and 
digital zoom by rotating the Zoom dial or touching the Zoom 
( 

 ) tab on the LCD screen.

W:  Recording wide area 

(wide-angle)

T:  Recording enlarged image 

(telephoto)

Rotate the Zoom dial towards T (telephoto). Or touch the Zoom 
( 

 ) tab, and then touch the Telephoto (   )  tab.

The distant subject is gradually magnified.
The highest zoom magnification ratio is X10 in the normal zoom-in.

Rotate the Zoom dial towards W (wide-angle). Or touch the Zoom 
( 

 ) tab, and then touch the Wide-angle (   )  tab.

The subject gets smaller and further away.
The smallest zoom ratio is the subject’s original size in the zoom-out.

W: Wide-angle

T: Telephoto

Using the optical zoom does not degrade the image quality and clarity.
Use the digital zoom when you want to zoom more than the optical zoom 
range.

Focusing may become unstable when you record with a fast zoom or 
zoom into a subject standing too far away. If this occurs, use the manual 
focus function. (Video recording mode only) 

¬page 53

The minimum distance you can have between the camcorder and subject 
while maintaining sharp focus is about 1cm (about 0.4 inches) for wide 
angle and about 1m (about 40 inches) for telephoto. If you want to shoot 
the subject close to the lens at a wide angle, use the Tele Macro function.

Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
The camcorder can record the sound of the zoom mechanism.
