This setting is effective for both digital zoom 
and optical power zoom.
When set to [Fixed], you can zoom at the set 
speed regardless of how far you operate the 
zoom lever.
The zoom speed range differs depending 
on the power zoom lens you use. The speed 
may not change or drive sound may be heard 
loudly depending on the combination of lens 
and [Zoom Speed] setting. Trial shooting is 
suggested before actual shooting.
You can operate the zoom lever of the high-
magnification power zoom lens supplied with 
the NEX-VG30H/VG30EH independently from 
the zoom lever on the camcorder. In this case, 
you can switch between power zoom (SERVO) 
and manual zoom (MANUAL) on the lens. 
When you use the power zoom (SERVO), you 
can select the zoom speed from three levels by 
the zoom speed switch on the lens. The zoom 
setting of the camcorder and that of the lens are 
mutually independent.
