ZOOMING This camcorder allows you to record using optical 10x power zoom and digital zoom by sliding the Zoom lever or pressing the Zoom button on the LCD panel. To zoom in Press the T (zoom) button on the LCD panel or slide the zoom lever towards T (telephoto). • The distant subject is gradually magnified. • The highest zoom magnification ratio is 10x in the normal zoom-in. To zoom out Press the W (zoom) button on the LCD panel or slide the zoom lever towards W (wide angle). • The subject gets smaller and further away. • The smallest optical zoom ratio is the subject's original size when zoomed-out. W : Wide angle T : Telephoto Zoom speed When using the zoom function, you can decrease zoom speed by slowly moving the Zoom (W/T) lever. Moving it faster increases the zoom speed. However, you cannot adjust the zoom speed when using the Zoom (W/T) button on the LCD panel. • Using the optical zoom does not degrade the image quality and clarity. • Use the digital zoom when you want to zoom more than the optical zoom range. page 63 • Focusing may become unstable when you record with a fast zoom or zoom into a subject standing too far away. If this occurs, use the manual focus function. page 57 • The minimum distance you can have between the camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 1cm (about 0.4 inches) for wide angle and about 50cm (about 19.7 inches) for telephoto. If you want to shoot the subject close to the lens at a wide angle, use the Tele Macro function. page 61 • When using the zoom function and holding the camcorder with your hand, use Anti-shake(OIS) for stable recording. page 58 • Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power. • The camcorder can record the sound of the zoom mechanism. 39
