Selecting the Zoom Type
Options _ Default value
Thezoomrangeis limitedto the optical
magnification ratioof the lens.
In addition to the optical zoom range, the
camcorder processes the image digitally to obtain
a larger zoom range without any deterioration in
image quality. When recording movies with a
16:9 aspect ratio, the angle of view will change.
Refer to the table in the NOTESsection.
When this option is selected, the camcorder will
switch to digital zoom (light blue area on the
zoom indicator) when you zoom in beyond the
optical zoom range (white area on the zoom
indicator). With the digital zoom the image is
processed digitally so image quality will
deteriorate the more you zoom in.
