• You can zoom in up to 30X by using the

optical zoom.

• Zoom magnifi cation over 30X is done

through digital image processing, and
is therefore called digital zoom. Digital
zooming is possible up to 800X. Set
(ZOOM) to [60X] or [800X] (

੬ 20).

Optical zoom (up to 30X)

Digital zoom (up to 800X)

Notes:
• Macro shooting is possible as close as approx.

5 cm (2") to the subject when the zoom lever is
set all the way to “W”.

• When you zoom into a subject close to the

lens, the camera may automatically zoom out
depending on the distance to the subject. In
this case, set “TELE MACRO” to “ON” (

੬ 20).

Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on
the tape. This code is to confi rm the location
of the recorded scene on the tape during
playback.

Frames*
(30 frames = 1
second)

* Frames are not displayed during recording.

If recording starts from a blank portion, the
time code begins counting from “00:00:00”
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from
the end of a previously recorded scene, the
time code continues from the last time code
number. If during recording a blank portion is
left partway through the tape, the time code
is interrupted. When recording is resumed,
the time code starts counting up again from
“00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may
record the same time codes as those existing
in a previously recorded scene. To prevent
this, perform Recording From The Middle Of A
Tape (

੬ 15) in the following cases;

• When shooting again after playing back a

recorded tape.

• When power shuts off during shooting.
• When a tape is removed and re-inserted

during shooting.

• When shooting using a partially recorded

tape.

• When shooting on a blank portion located

partway through the tape.

• When shooting again after shooting a

scene then opening/closing the cassette
holder cover.

Notes:
• The time code cannot be reset.
• During fast-forwarding and rewinding, the time

code indication does not move smoothly.

• The time code is displayed only when “TIME

CODE” is set to “ON”. (
