The Hitachi VM-H81A offers a diverse group of features that add interest
and excitement to your video. Adding fades to smooth transitions creates
videos with a professional look.
As you learn and practice with these features think of situations that they
might fit in and add a special touch.
Using the Power Zoom
The power zoom W control widens the picture, moving the subject farther
away, while the power zoom T control brings the subject closer, narrowing
the picture. If ZOOM appears at the left of the viewfinder, the digital zoom
function shown below has been engaged.
When the power zoom switch is operated, the zoom position is displayed
in the viewfinder for about 5 seconds and then disappears. The zoom
position is displayed in 10 steps.
Pressing the power zoom switch strongly results in rapid zooming and
pressing it lightly results in slow zooming.
Note: You can use the zoom switch on the remote control though it provides
only low-speed zooming; it cannot change the zoom speed.
Using the Digital Zoom
The digital zoom increases the magnification of the optical zoom. You
must place the subject you wish to magnify at the center of the viewfinder.
Note: This digital zoom has certain limitations and may degradate at extreme
magnification and amplify camcorder's movement.
