46 Menu Options Lists The camcorder uses shutter speeds down to 1/30 (1/15 when recording still images). In mode, set the flash mode to (flash off). If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [ OFF]. If (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod. D.ZOOM ZOOM SPEED [ VARIABLE], [ SPEED 3], [ SPEED 2], [ SPEED 1] When set to [ VARIABLE] the zoom speed depends on how you operate the zoom lever: Press lightly for a slow zoom; press harder for faster zooms. The fastest zoom speed can be achieved with [ VARIABLE]. Among the fixed zoom speeds, [ SPEED 3] is the fastest and [ SPEED 1] the slowest. [ OFF], [ 40X], [ 200X] [ OFF], [ 105X], [ 1000X] Determines the operation of the digital zoom. When activated, the camcorder will switch automatically to the digital zoom when you zoom in beyond the optical zoom range. With the digital zoom the image is digitally processed, so the image resolution will deteriorate the more you zoom in.
