zoom, the digital zoom is also available
(

Digital zoom*: 1,000x

only.

35x Optical Zoom

Move the zoom lever toward

W to

zoom out (wide-angle). Move it toward

T to zoom in (telephoto).

You can also change the zoom speed
(

38). You can select one of three fixed

zoom speeds or a variable speed that
depends on how you operate the zoom
lever: Press gently for a slow zoom; press
harder for faster zooms.

NOTES

When set to [

VARIABLE], the zoom

speed will be faster in the record pause mode.

Keep at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) to the subject. At

wide-angle, you can focus on a subject as close
as 1 cm (0.39 in.).

Quick Start Function

Using the Quick Start function, you’ll
never have to miss out on those great
and fleeting opportunities to take a picture
or record video. When you press

instead of turning off the

camcorder, you can get it ready to start
recording within approx. 1 second.

POINTS TO CHECK

: You cannot enter the Quick-

Start ready mode while recording.

Press

firmly.

• The standby lamp goes on to signal
that the camcorder is Quick-Start ready
- “ready and waiting” to resume
recording.
• Sometimes the standby lamp will
flash as the camcorder completes
some preparations. The camcorder is
Quick-Start ready when the lamp stops
flashing and stays on.

When you wish to resume
recording, press

again.

Within approx. 1 second, the
camcorder is ready in record pause
mode.
