Recording Recording for a longer time To record for a longer time In the (TAPE SET) menu, select [REC MODE], then [LP] (p. 52). In the LP mode, you can record longer than when recording in the SP mode (2 times longer for TRV138/338, 1.5 times longer for TRV280). A tape recorded in the LP mode should be played back only on this camcorder. Using zoom When the CAMERA mode is selected, you can choose zoom to magnification levels greater than 20 times, and from that point activate the digital zoom ([D ZOOM], p. 45). Occasional use of the zoom is effective, but use it sparingly for best results. Move the power zoom lever slightly for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom. To record wider range of view Move the power zoom lever towards W. The subject appears farther away (Wide angle). To record closer view Move the power zoom lever towards T. The subject appears closer (Telephoto). To use the zoom buttons on LCD frame Keep W pressed to record wider range of view, and keep T pressed to record closer view. b Notes • You cannot change the zoom speed with the zoom buttons on LCD frame. • To press the zoom buttons on LCD frame, support the LCD panel with your hand.
