Using the zoom function sparingly results in better-looking recordings.
"T" side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
"W" side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
Zoom greater than 20 is performed digitally, if you set D ZOOM to ON in the MENU
settings. The digital zoom function is set OFF at the factory. (p. 54).

the digital zooming zone.
The digital zooming zone appears
when you set D ZOOM to ON.
When you shoot close to a subject
If you cannot get a sharp focus, move the power zoom lever to the "W" side until the
focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 2 feet 5/8 inch (about 80 cm)
away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 1/2 inch (about 1 cm)
away in the wide-angle position.
Notes on digital zoom

• The picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the "T" side. Set D ZOOM to OFF in
the MENU settings. Otherwise the digital zoom activates without notice (p. 54).
