Zooming Automatically as the Subject Moves
(Auto Zoom)
The camera automatically zooms in and out to keep a detected face
( = 30) at a constant size. If the person moves closer, the camera
automatically zooms out, and vice versa.
● Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates
the zoom position). The color of the zoom bar will change
depending on the zoom range.
- White range: optical zoom range where the image will not
appear grainy.
- Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not
noticeably grainy (ZoomPlus).
- Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear
grainy.
● Because the blue range will not be available at some recording
pixel settings ( = 41), the maximum zoom factor can be
achieved by following step 1.
To deactivate digital zoom, choose MENU ( = 27) > [

[Digital Zoom] > [Off].
