Zooming
is a recording
technique
that lets you change the size of the subject in the
scene. For more professional-looking
recordings,
use the zoom sparingly.
"T" Side:
for telephoto
(subject appears
closer)
"W" Side: for wide-angle
(subject appears
farther away)

Zooming
speed
(Variable
speed
zooming)
Turn the power
zoom lever fully for a high-speed
zoom. Turn it lightly for a relatively
slow zoom.
When you shoot a subject
using a telephoto
zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme
telephoto
zoom, move the power
zoom
lever to the "W" side until the focus is sharp.
You can shoot a subject that is at least about 2 5/8 feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens
surface in the telephoto
position,
or about
1/ 2 inch (about I cm) in the wide-angle
position.
Notes on digital
zoom
• More than 15x zoom is performed
digitally,
and the picture
quality
deteriorates
as
you go toward
the "T " side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom, set D ZOOM
to OFF in the menu
system.
• The right-side
[a] of the power
zoom indicator
shows
the digital zooming
zone, and
the left side [b] shows the optical zooming
zone. If you set D ZOOM to OFF, the right
[a]
zone disappears.
