Sony DCR-SR45 User Guide

You can zoom in up to the magnifications 

shown in the following table.

(optical zoom)

DCR-SR45/SR46

40 ×

DCR-SR65/SR85

25 ×

You can adjust the magnification with the 

power zoom lever or the zoom buttons on 

the LCD frame.

Move the power zoom lever slightly for a 

slower zoom. Move it further for a faster 

zoom.



 [STEADYSHOT] may not reduce image 

blurring as desired when the power zoom lever 

is set to the T (Telephoto) side.



 Be sure to keep your finger on the power zoom 

lever. If you move your finger off the power 

zoom lever, the operation sound of the lever 

may also be recorded.



 You cannot change the zoom speed with the 

zoom buttons on the LCD frame.



 The minimum possible distance between 



camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp 

focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide 

angle and about 80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for 

telephoto.



 Using [DIGITAL ZOOM] (p. 58) lets you zoom 

in further than the magnification shown in the 

table.

When you press QUICK ON, the 

camcorder goes to sleep mode (power 

saving mode) instead of turning off. 

The QUICK ON lamp keeps flashing 

during sleep mode. Press QUICK ON 

again to start recording next time. Your 

camcorder returns to recording standby in 

approximately 1 second.



 During sleep mode, the battery is consumed at 

about half that of usual recording, enabling you 

to save battery power.



 The power turns off automatically if you do 

not operate your camcorder for a certain 

period during sleep mode. You can set the time 

that you want the camcorder to remain on 

before automatically turning off in sleep mode 

([QUICK ON STBY], (p. 67)).
