Zooming: Optical, Advanced and Digital
Zoom
The camcorder offers three types of
zoom: optical, advanced and digital
zoom when recording movies. (In
mode only the optical zoom
is available.) You can also change the
zoom speed.
Selecting the Zoom Type
Options
[OPTICAL] (37x,
The zoom range is limited to the optical
magnification ratio of the lens.
[ADVANCED] (Advanced Zoom)
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 field of view
(picture angle) will change. Refer to the table in
the NOTES section.
[DIGITAL] (2000x)
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.
