TELE MACRO
This is useful to shoot small subjects, such
as flowers or insects. You can blur out
backgrounds and the subject stands out
clearer.
When you set [TELE MACRO] to [ON]
(
), the zoom (p. 22) moves to the top of
the T (Telephoto) side automatically and
allows for recording subjects at a close
distance as follows:
For HDR-HC5E: down to about 37 cm
(14 5/8 in.).
For HDR-HC7E: down to about 45 cm
(17 3/4 in.).
To cancel, touch [OFF], or zoom to wide-
angle (W side).
b Notes
• When recording a distant subject, focusing may
be difficult and can take some time.
• Adjust the focus manually ([FOCUS], p. 42)
when it is hard to focus automatically.

built-in flash or an external flash (optional)
that is compatible with your camcorder.
