Recording
With tele photo zooming it is possible
to capture images to a maximum of
250 times normal magnification. To
do this, the camcorder uses
technology to artificially enhance the
image (see pages 38-39 for details).
Note: see pages 38-39 for details on
selecting a digital zoom mode,
• For close-up telephoto zoom,
rotate the zoom lever toward T.
Optical zoom (see pages 38-39for
details) is the natural, non-enhanced
magnification that the camcorder’s
lens will support. This digital
camcorder has an optical zoom of 10
times (lOX),
• For a wide angle zoom, rotate
the lever toward W.
When using the zoom lever, an
indicator appears on screen to display
the approximate zoom ratio.
Notes:
While zooming, focusing may become
unstable. If so, set the zoom while in
record-standby mode and adjust the image
using manual focus (see page 46 for
details). Once the focus is set, zoom the
camcorder in or out while recording.
During digital zoom, the quality of image
may suffer.
Digital zoom cannot be used when image
enhancement effects, such as picture
wipe/dissolve (see pages 29-30), or video
echo (see page 31), are being used.
Tele macro focusing (as close as two
inches from the subject) is possible when
the zoom lever is set ail the way to W (see
also Tele Macro on page 55).
