Zooming
The zoom is available when recording movies or still images. When recording movies
(
), in addition to the 10x optical zoom you can also use the 200x digital zoom
( 80).
10x Optical Zoom
Move the zoom lever toward
W to zoom out (wide-
angle). Move it toward T to zoom in (telephoto).
When operating the zoom from the camcorder you can also change
the zoom speed (
80). You can select one of three fixed zoom
speeds or a variable speed that depends on how you operate the
zoom lever: Press lightly for a slow zoom; press harder for faster
zooms.
 You can also use the T and W buttons on the wireless controller. The zoom
speed with the wireless controller will be the same as with the camcorder (when
one of the fixed zoom speed levels is selected) or fixed at [SPEED 3] (when
[VARIABLE] is selected).
 When set to [VARIABLE], the zoom speed will be faster in the record pause
mode.
 Keep a distance of at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) to the subject. At wide-angle, you can
focus on a subject as close as 1 cm (0.39 in.).
