≥When zooming in and taking a picture while
holding the Camcorder by hand, we recommend
using the optical image stabilizer function.
≥When you are zooming in on a faraway subject,
a sharper focus is achieved if the recording
subject is 1.3 m (4.3 feet) or further from the
Camcorder.
≥When the zoom speed is high, the subject may
not be focused easily.
≥When the zoom magnification is 1k, the
Camcorder can focus on a subject approx. 2 cm
(0.8 inches) away from the lens.
≥Be aware that a mechanical sound may be
recorded when the [W/T] lever is released while
zooming. Gently move the zoom lever back to
it's original position before releasing it.
