When activated, the camcorder will switch automatically to the digital zoom when you zoom in beyond the optical zoom range. With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so the image resolution will deteriorate the more you zoom in. The digital zoom indicator will appear in light blue from 35x up to 105x and dark blue from 105x up to 1000x. The digital zoom cannot be used with the [ NIGHT] recording program. Mode switch: [ ON], [ OFF] The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder shake even at full telephoto. The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of camcorder shake. The image stabilizer may not be effective when recording in dark places using the [ NIGHT] recording program. The image stabilizer cannot be turned off when the mode switch is set to . We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [ OFF] when using a tripod. WIDESCREEN ZOOM SPEED [ VARIABLE], [ SPEED 3], [ SPEED 2], [ SPEED 1] When set to [ VARIABLE] the zoom speed depends on how you operate the zoom lever: Press lightly for a slow zoom; press harder for faster zooms. The fastest zoom speed can be achieved with [ VARIABLE]. Among the fixed zoom speeds, [ SPEED 3] is the fastest and [ SPEED 1] the slowest. [ ON], [ OFF] The camcorder uses the full width of the CCD providing high-resolution 16:9 recording. Since the displays on the camcorder have an aspect ratio of 16:9, recordings with a 4:3 aspect ratio will appear in the center of the screen with black sidebars. Playing back a widescreen recording: TV sets compatible with the Video ID-1 system will automatically switch to wide (16:9) mode. Otherwise, change the aspect ratio of the TV manually. To play back on a TV with normal aspect ratio (4:3) change the [TV TYPE] setting accordingly ( 29). SELF TIMER ( 39) [ ON], [ OFF]
