Magnification Indication [1X]) and telephoto (Zoom
Magnification Indication [20x]).
•The farther you push the [W/T] Zoom Lever toward [W] or
m, the faster the zooming speed becomes.

unprofessional look.
Voice Zoom
This function makes it possible to record the voices of distant
persons slightly louder and more clearly, by emphasizing the
frequency range of human voices according to the zoom
position of the Movie Camera's lens. To activate the Voice
Zoom Function, set [VOICE ZOOM] on the [OTHER
FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu of the [CAMERA FUNCTIONS]
Main-Menu to [ON],
