VIDEO RECORDING & PLAYBACK EN 23 VIDEO RECORDING & PLAYBACK Zooming Use the zoom function for close-up or wideangle shooting. You can zoom in up to 15x* by using the optical zoom. To zoom in Slide the zoom lever towards T (telephoto). To zoom out Slide the zoom lever towards W (wide-angle). W: Wide angle T: Telephoto NOTES: ● The S-Video cable is optional. Be sure to use the YTU94146A S-Video cable. Consult the JVC Service Centre described on the sheet included in the package for details on its availability. Make sure to connect the end with a core filter to the camera. The core filter reduces interference. ● Focusing may become unstable during zooming. In this case, set the zoom before recording and lock the focus by using the manual focus (੬ pg. 33), then zoom in or out during recording. ● During digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer. ● Macro shooting is possible as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject when the zoom lever is set all the way to W. ● When you zoom into a subject close to the lens, the camera may automatically zoom out depending on the distance to the subject. In this case, set [TELE MACRO] to [ON]. (੬ pg. 50) Digital zoom zone 15x* (Optical) zoom zone Approximate zoom ratio ● The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action. ● Zoom magnification over 15x* is done through digital image processing, and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 700x*. Set [ZOOM] to [60X] or [700X]*. (੬ pg. 50) * For GZ-MG30E/EK/GZ-MG20E/EK optical zoom can go up to 25x, digital zoom - up to 800x, and [ZOOM] can be set to [100X] or [800X].
