18 EN VIDEO RECORDING Zooming Produces the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous change in image magnification. Zoom In Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards "T". Zoom Out Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards "W". ● The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker the zoom action. Zoom in (T: Telephoto) 1x 10x 20x 40x Journalistic Shooting In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward). Zoom out (W: Wide angle) 10 x Digital zoom zone 32X (optical) zoom zone Approximate zoom ratio NOTES: ● Focusing may become unstable during zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in RecordStandby, lock the focus by using the manual focus (੬ pg. 27), then zoom in or out in Record mode. ● Zooming is possible to a maximum of 800X, or it can be switched to 32X magnification using the optical zoom. (੬ pg. 23) ● Zoom magnification of over 32X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom. ● During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer. ● Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to "W". Also see "TELE MACRO" in FUNCTION Menu on page 23. ● When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first. If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when "TELE MACRO" is set to "ON".
