subject is 1.3 m (4.3 feet) or further from the
Camcorder.
When the zoom speed is high, the subject may
not be focused easily.

Camcorder can focus on a subject approx. 2 cm
(0.8 inches) away from the lens.
Be aware that a mechanical sound may be
recorded when the [W/T] lever is released while
zooming. Gently move the zoom lever back to
it’s original position before releasing it.
