Camera Recording
Using the Zoom Feature
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the scene. You can also
use the zoom to focus manually or to decide on a shooting angle before you start recording.
For more professional-looking recordings, use the zoom function sparingly.
"T" side; for telephoto (subject appears closer)
"W” side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
Zooming Speed (Dual speed zooming)
Press the power zoom button firmly for a high-speed zoom, press it softly for a relatively slow zoom.
When you shoot a sub|ed using a telephoto zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, press the "W" side of the power zoom
button until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least 80 cm (about 31 1/2 inches) away
from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or 1 cm (about 1/2 inches) in the wide-angle position.
Manual focusing In macro
You can also shoot with manual focus while doing close-ups (p. 27).
