LCD Monitor And Viewfinder
While using the LCD monitor:
Make sure the viewfinder is pushed back in. Press the
Monitor Opening Button and open the LCD monitor fully.
It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).
While using the viewfinder:
Make sure the LCD monitor is closed and locked. Pull out
the viewfinder fully.
● Be sure to pull out the viewfinder until you hear a click,
otherwise it may be pushed back in during use.
NOTES:
● The image will not appear simultaneously on the LCD
monitor and the viewfinder. When the viewfinder is pulled
out while the LCD monitor is opened, you can select which
one to use. Set “PRIORITY” to the desired mode in
SYSTEM Menu. (
੬ pg. 24, 26)
● Coloured bright spots may appear all over the LCD monitor
or the viewfinder. However, this is not a malfunction.

Tape Remaining Time
Approximate tape remaining time appears on the display.
“– h – – m” means the camcorder is calculating the
remaining time. When the remaining time reaches
2 minutes, the indication starts blinking.
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.
NOTES:
● Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this
case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby, lock the focus
by using the manual focus (
੬ pg. 32), then zoom in or out
in Record mode.
● Zooming is possible to a maximum of 700X, or it can be
switched to 16X magnification using the optical zoom.
(
੬ pg. 25)
● Zoom magnification of over 16X is done through Digital
image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.
● During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
● Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/MEMORY
Switch is set to “MEMORY”.
● 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 MANUAL Menu on page
26.
