Zooming W Zoom out Zoom in E T Mastering the Basics 10× optical zoom The camcorder's 10× zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each scene: • 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. 200× digital zoom Card 40× Magnifies the camcorder's zoom range by up to 20× (up to 4× when using a memory card). 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 200×). + , + TAPE CAMERA CARD CAMERA ( 37) CAM.SET UP D.ZOOM 40× To change the digital zoom, open the menu and select CAM.SET UP. Then select D.ZOOM, set it to OFF or 200× and close the menu. Notes: • When zooming, as a rule, keep at least 3 ft 33/8 in (1 m) between you and your subject. However when the zoom is at the wide-angle position, you can focus on a subject as close as 3/8 in (1 cm). • Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than 10×. • 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). 23
