Zooming To produce the zoom in/out effect. Digital circuitry extends the maximum magnification offered by optical zoom. This system is called Digital Zoom. • Slide the Power Zoom Lever 3 towards "T" to zoom in, or "W" to zoom out. • The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever 3, the quicker the zoom action. • Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in Record- Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus (੬ pg. 12, "Auto/Manual Focus"), then zoom in or out in Record mode. • The zoom level indicator T- moves during zoom. Once the zoom level indiator T- reaches the top, all magnification from that point is through digital processing. • When using Digital Zoom, the quality of image may suffer. To deactivate Digital Zoom, set "D.ZOOM" (੬ pg. 20) to "OFF" in SYSTEM MENU. Quick Review To check the end of the last recording. 1) Make sure the camcorder is in the Record- Standby mode. 2) Press Q q and release quickly. Tape is rewound for approx. 1 second and played back automatically, then pauses in Record-Standby mode for the next shot. • Distortion may occur at the start of playback. This is normal. Retake To re-record certain segments. 1) Make sure the camcorder is in the Record- Standby mode. 2) Press and hold either RETAKE ^ or q to reach the start point for new recording. Pressing R ^ forwards the tape and pressing Q q reverses it. 3) Press the Recording Start/Stop Button 9 to start recording. • Noise bars appear and pictures may become monochrome or darken during Retake. This is normal. 13
