Zooming Operating modes: The camcorder offers three types of zoom - optical, advanced and dig- ital. For optical zoom, the camcorder uses the optical magnification ratio of the lens. For advanced zoom, the camcorder processes the image beyond the range of the optical zoom to obtain a larger zoom without any deterioration in image quality. For digital zoom, the image is processed digitally so image quality will deteriorate the more you zoom in. In mode, select the type using the 7 8 [Zoom Type] setting. In mode, [Zoom Type] will be set to [Advanced]. A summary of the zoom types is given in the table below. [Optical]1 [Advanced] [Digital] 20x 28x2 400x 1 When taking photos, only optical zoom is available. 2 24x when [Image Stabilizer] (FUNC. panel) is set to [P Dynamic]. There are two ways you can zoom in and out: using the zoom lever on the camcorder or using the zoom controls on the touch screen. Using the Zoom Lever Move the zoom lever toward Q (wide angle) to zoom out. Move it toward P (telephoto) to zoom in. By default, the zoom lever operates at a variable speed - press gently for a slow zoom; press harder for faster zooms. W Zoom out T Zoom in Smart AUTO Mode Š 47
