Using the Zoom Feature
Zooming is a recording techtuque 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 sparingly.
T side : for telephoto (subject appears closer)
W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
Making the Sound "aoom"
When you zoom in or zoom out, you can also set the sound to "zoom" along with the picture. To make
the sound to "zoom", set ZOOM MIC to ON in the menu system (p.23). The ZOOM MIC indicator
appears in the viewfinder.
When you "zoom" the sound, the sound is recorded in monaural.
Zooming speed
Press the power zoom button firmly for a high-speed zoom. Press it softly for a relatively slow zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom
If you carmot 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 2.6 feet) away horn 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).
