W T
zoom.
• You can zoom with the zoom lever or the Control (W/T) button on the LCD panel.

Tip
When using the zoom function, its speed can be decreased by slowly moving the Zoom (W/T) lever.
A fast moving increases the zoom speed. However, the Zoom (W/T) button on the display cannot adjust
the zoom speed.
• The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is
about 5cm (about 1.96 inch) for wide-angle and 1m (about 39.4 inch) for telephoto.
• Zooming during a recording may record operation sound of the zoom lever or zoom button.
• Optical zoom preserves image quality, but during digital zoom the image quality may suffer.
• Fast zooming or zooming in a far subject may cause slow focus. In this case, use "Manual
Focus." page 51
• It is recommended to use "Anti-Shake (HDIS)" with handheld recording if the subject is zoomed
in and enlarged.
• Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
