Zooming
This DVD Video Camera allows you to record using optical 18- (on VDR-M50PP) or 10- (on VDR-M70PP) 
power zoom and digital zoom.
If you continue to hold the zoom lever on the “T” control 
side with Dig. Zoom 40x or 240x specified, the digital 
zoom will be activated midway (when optical 18-power 
is exceeded on VDR-M50PP or optical 10-power is 
exceeded on VDR-M70PP). You can set the digital zoom 
up to 40x in photo mode, and 40x and 500x (on VDR-
M50PP) or 240x (on VDR-M70PP).

Note
:
Dig. Zoom setting will be stored in memory even if the 
DVD Video Camera is turned off.
You can also use the DIGITAL ZOOM button on remote 
controller to switch the digital zoom setting: Pressing the 
button during movie recording will switch the setting 
between “Off”, “40×” and “500x” (on VDR-M50PP) or 
“240x” (on VDR-M70PP): Pressing the button during still 
recording will switch between “Off” and “40×”.
If you set zoom to 500× (VDR-M50PP), 240× (VDR-
M70PP) when recording still, digital zoom will be up to 
40×.
When a subject is zoomed, it may be momentarily out of 
focus.
When digital zoom is engaged, the image quality will be 
rougher.
When using card, zooming only up to 40× is possible, 
even when “500x” (on VDR-M50PP) or “240x” (on VDR-
M70PP) or “40×” has been chosen.
If the power switch is set to “
” with DVD-RAM disc 
loaded, zooming only up to 40x is possible, even when 
“500x” (on VDR-M50PP) or “240x” (on VDR-M70PP) has 
been chosen.
When you record pictures, with 10x or more of 
magnification, the DVD Video Camera is susceptible to 
shake. We recommend using a tripod (only for VDR-
M50PP).
