This setting is effective for both digital zoom

and optical power zoom.
When set to [Fixed], you can zoom at the set

speed regardless of how far you operate the
zoom lever.
The zoom speed range differs depending

on the power zoom lens you use. The speed
may not change or drive sound may be heard
loudly depending on the combination of lens
and [Zoom Speed] setting. Trial shooting is
suggested before actual shooting.
You can operate the zoom lever of the high-

magnification power zoom lens supplied with
the NEX-VG30H/VG30EH independently from
the zoom lever on the camcorder. In this case,
you can switch between power zoom (SERVO)
and manual zoom (MANUAL) on the lens.
When you use the power zoom (SERVO), you
can select the zoom speed from three levels by
the zoom speed switch on the lens. The zoom
setting of the camcorder and that of the lens are
mutually independent.
