DANGER
The video light can become extremely
hot. Do not touch it either while in

otherwise serious injury may result.
Do not place the camcorder into the
carrying case immediately after using the video light,
since it remains extremely hot for some time.
When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm
between the video light and people or objects.
Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.
Do not place the camcorder in a cabinet or box while
the video light is in operation.
When using the video light, if you wish to install the

neous 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

NOTES:
Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In
this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby,

Zooming is possible to a maximum of 500X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the
optical zoom (

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.
Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is
set all the way to "W". Also see "TELE MACRO" in
