Using the zoom feature

Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the
scene.
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 (Variable speed zooming)

Move the power zoom lever a little for a relatively slow zoom. To speed up the
zooming, move the lever further.

When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom

If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, move the power zoom
lever to the "W" side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least
about

^/s feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or

about ’A inch (about 1 cm) away in the wide-angle position.

Notes on digital zoom

• More than 15x zoom is performed digitally (30x), and the picture quality deteriorates

as you go toward the "T" side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom, set the D
ZOOM function to OFF in the menu system.

• The right side

[a]

of the power zoom indicator shows the digital zooming zone, and

the left side

[b]

shows the optical zooming zone. If you set the D ZOOM function to

OFF, the

zone disappears.
