ZOOMING IN AND OUT
Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle recording.
This memory camcorder allows you to record using optical 34x power zoom
and 1200x digital zoom.
You can zoom with the zoom lever or the Control (W/T) button on the LCD panel.
•
Zoom magnification over 34x is done through digital image processing,
•
and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 1200x.
Set "Digital Zoom" to "On". ➥page 67

Optical zoom preserves the movie quality, but during digital zoom the
•
quality of image may suffer.
Fast zooming or zooming in subject of far distance may produce slow
•
focusing. In this case, use "Manual Focus". ➥page 58
It is recommended to use "Anti-Shake (HDIS)" with handheld recording
•
if the subject is zoomed in and enlarged.
