Zooming
Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-
angle shooting. You can zoom in up to 15x* by
using the optical zoom.
To zoom in
Slide the zoom lever towards T (telephoto).
To zoom out
Slide the zoom lever towards W (wide-angle).
W: Wide angle
● The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker
the zoom action.
● Zoom magnification over 15x* is done through
digital image processing, and is therefore called
digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to
700x*. Set [ZOOM] to [60X] or [700X]*. (
* For GZ-MG30U/GZ-MG20U optical zoom can go
up to 25x, digital zoom – up to 800x, and [ZOOM]
can be set to [100X] or [800X].

VIDEO RECORDING & PLAYBACK
NOTES:
● The S-Video cable is optional. Be sure to use the
YTU94146A S-Video cable. Consult the JVC
Service Center described on the sheet included in
the package for details on its availability. Make
sure to connect the end with a core filter to the
camera. The core filter reduces interference.
● Focusing may become unstable during zooming.
In this case, set the zoom before recording and
lock the focus by using the manual focus
(
pg. 33), then zoom in or out during recording.
● During digital zoom, the quality of image may
suffer.
● Macro shooting is possible as close as approx.
5 cm (2") to the subject when the zoom lever is set
all the way to W.
● When you zoom into a subject close to the lens,
the camera may automatically zoom out
depending on the distance to the subject. In this
case, set [TELE MACRO] to [ON]. (
Deleting Files
If you press
during recording mode, the file
recorded most recently will be deleted.
(
pg. 39)
● However, if the recording mode (video or still
image) is switched or the power is turned off and
on again after recording, you cannot delete the
file.
