Canon Optura 100 Manual Do Utilizador

× digital zoom

Magnifies the camcorder’s zoom range by up to 20

× in TAPE CAMERA mode.

The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out
between 1

× and 200× magnification — the camcorder automatically switches

between optical zooming (up to 10

×) and digital zooming (10× to 40× or 10× to

200

×).

The camcorder’s 10

× zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for

each scene (up to 8

× when using a memory card):

• Move the zoom control towards W to zoom out to wide-angle.
• Move it towards T to zoom in to telephoto.
You can also control the speed of zooming:
• Move the control slightly to zoom slowly.
• Move it farther to zoom more quickly. (The farther you move the zoom control,

the faster the zoom speed.)

The T and W buttons on the wireless controller adjust the picture angle, but not
the zoom speed.

• Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than 10

×.

• You cannot use digital zoom when the multi-image screen or mosaic is set. The

display becomes “– – –”.

• The zoom indicator appears for 4 seconds. When the digital zoom is set to 40

×,

the zoom indicator extends (light blue). When the digital zoom is set to 200

×

zoom, the zoom indicator extends again (a darker blue).
