• The minimum possible distance between the camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus
is about 0.39 inch (lcm) for wide angle and about 39.4 inches (1 m) for telephoto,
• Optical zoom preserves image quality, but during digital zoom the image quality may suffer.
• Fast zooming or zooming in subject at a far distance may produce slow focusing. If this occurs,
use "Manual Focus." '-,page 58
• It is recommended to use Anti-Shake (HDIS) with handheld recording if the subject is zoomed in
and enlarged.
