Using the Zoom Microphone Function
When using Zoom-in to record from a distance, a
zoom effect which makes the sound in front of
the Movie Camera more audible can be
achieved.
≥Set the [ZOOM MIC] on the [RECORDING
SETUP] Sub-Menu to [ON]. ([Z.MIC] Indication
appears.)
≥The Zoom Microphone Function may not be
effective if the surrounding noise is too much.
Enlarging Your Subjects Even More
(Digital Zooming)
If you set [D.ZOOM] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-
Menu to [24k] or [120k], it is possible to further
enlarge the subject.
The [D.ZOOM] Indication appears.
Digital zooming up to 24k.
≥24t:
≥120t: Digital zooming up to 120k.
≥Up to 12k, the zooming is done optically.
≥The higher the Digital Zoom Magnification is, the
lower is the picture quality.
≥When you have zoomed to 12k or higher (digital
zoom range), manually adjusting the white balance
or selecting any of the preset white balance modes
is not possible.
≥If you set [PROGRESSIVE] on the [CAMERA
SETUP] Sub-Menu to [ON], it is not possible to use
the digital zoom.
≥When the [TAPE/CARD] Selector is set to [CARD],
the Digital Zoom Function cannot be used.
Continuous Photoshot
If you set [SHTR EFFECT] on the [OTHER
FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu to [ON] and keep the
[PHOTO SHOT] Button pressed, the Movie Camera
automatically records still pictures successively at
intervals of approximately 0.7 seconds until you
release the button.
≥One more still picture may be recorded after you
release the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.
≥Continuous Photoshot Function is not possible if the
Video Flash is used.
Digital Still Picture
A picture can be viewed as a still picture by
pressing the [STILL] Button. The Digital Still
Picture Mode is released by pressing the button
again.
≥It is recommended that the [PHOTO SHOT]
Button be pressed after the Digital Still Picture
Mode has been established by pressing the
[STILL] Button where the shot is to be taken.
≥The digital still picture is cleared when the
[TAPE/CARD] Selector is switched.
≥If the Digital Still Picture Mode is used when the
Video Flash is installed, the flash will fire.
≥The still pictures recorded in the Continuous
Photoshot Mode or in the Digital Still Picture
Mode are not marked with photoshot index
signals.
Remarks, etc.
≥As a general rule, the further you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever toward [W] or [T], the faster the zooming
speed.
≥In the Recording Pause Mode, if you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever toward [W] or [T] until you feel a click,
you can zoom between 1k and 12k in an extremely
fast approximately 0.5 seconds. (Jet Zoom)
≥During recording, zooming between 1k and 12k is
possible in as short a time as approximately
1.2 seconds. However, even if you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever until you feel a click, it is not possible to
zoom faster than in 1.2 seconds. Therefore, it is not
recommended that you push the [W/T] Zoom Lever
all the way until you feel a click, as a click sound
could be recorded in this case.
≥During very fast zooming, the picture may temporarily
go out of focus.
≥When you have zoomed to the tele setting, precise
focusing is only possible on subjects no closer than
1.2 metres.
≥It is recommended that you press the [STILL] Button
first and then press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.
≥If you set [SHTR EFFECT] on the [OTHER
FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu to [ON], the screen blinks
briefly and a simulated shutter click sound can be
recorded when you press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.
This audiovisual effect is also recorded.
≥With the still pictures that you have recorded in the
Photoshot Mode, you can do the following:
Index Search (p. 44)
≥
Automatic printing (p. 107)
≥
Automatic transmission of pictures to Card (p. 72)
≥
≥The visual shutter effect and click sound may occur
with slight delay after recording of the still picture has
started.
≥The picture quality deteriorates slightly.
