ZOOMING
This camcorder features 12x intelli - zoom in the Video ( ) mode and 8x optical zoom in the Photo ( )
mode to make distant subjects appear closer.
• Using the optical zoom does not degrade the image quality and clarity.
• Use the digital zoom when you want to zoom more than the optical or intelli zoom range. page 80
• Automatic focusing may become unstable when you record using a fast zoom or when you zoom
into a subject that is too far away. If this occurs, use the manual focus function. page 69
• The minimum distance you can have between the camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp
focus is about 10cm (about 3.9 inches) for wide angle and about 1m (about 39.37 inches) for
telephoto. If you want to shoot a subject close up at a wide angle, use the Tele Macro function.
