Journalistic Shooting

In some situations, different shooting angles may
provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder
in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in
the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270°
(90° downward, 180° upward).

Self-Recording

You can shoot yourself while viewing your own
image in the LCD monitor. Open the LCD monitor
and tilt it upward 180° so that it faces forward, then
point the lens toward yourself and start recording.

Zooming

FEATURE:
PURPOSE:
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
change in image magnification.
OPERATION:
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards "T".
Zoom Out
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards "W".
The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the
quicker the zoom action.
NOTES:
Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In
this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby,
lock the focus by using the manual focus
( pg. 51), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
Zooming is possible to a maximum of 200X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the
optical zoom ( pg. 39).
Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through
Digital image processing, and is therefore called
Digital Zoom.
During Digital zoom, the quality of image may
suffer.
Digital zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
• When digital image processing, such as Picture
Wipe/Dissolve ( pg. 48, 49) or Video Echo
( pg. 47), is activated.
Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is
set all the way to "W". Also see "TELE MACRO" in
the Menu Screen on page 39.
