● Zoom magnification of over 15X is done through 

Digital image processing, and is therefore called 
Digital Zoom.

MANUAL Menu on page 39.

● When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom 

out first. If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the 
camcorder may automatically zoom out 
depending on the distance between the 
camcorder and the subject. This will not occur 
when “TELE MACRO” is set to “ON”. (

In some situations, 
different shooting 
angles may provide 
more dramatic results. 
Hold the camcorder in 
the desired position 
and tilt the LCD 
monitor in the most 
convenient direction. It

upward to 180° so

point the lens toward 
yourself and start 
recording.
