Using the Power Zoom
The power zoom W control widens the picture, moving the subject farther away, while the power zoom T control
brings the subject closer, narrowing the picture. If ZOOM appears at the left of the LCD monitor, the digital zoom
function shown below has been engaged.
When the power zoom lever is operated, the zoom position is displayed on the LCD monitor for about 5 seconds
and then disappears. The zoom position is displayed in 10 steps.
Pressing the power zoom lever strongly results in rapid zooming and pressing it lightly results in slow zooming.
Note: You can use the zoom switch on the remote control though it provides only low-speed zooming; it
cannot change the zoom speed.
Using the Digital Zoom
The digital zoom increases the magnification of the power zoom by 2 times. You must place the subject you wish
to magnify at the center of the LCD monitor.
