Remarks, etc.
≥As a general rule, the further you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever toward [W] or [T], the faster the zooming
speed.
≥In the Recording Pause Mode, if you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever toward [W] or [T] until you feel a click,
you can zoom between 1k and 10k in an extremely
fast approximately 0.5 seconds. (Jet Zoom)
≥During recording, zooming between 1k and 10k is
possible in as short a time as approximately
1.0 second. However, even if you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever until you feel a click, it is not possible to
zoom faster than in 1.0 second. Therefore, it is not
recommended that you push the [W/T] Zoom Lever
all the way until you feel a click, as a click sound
could be recorded in this case.
≥During very fast zooming, the picture may temporarily
go out of focus.
≥When you have zoomed to the tele setting, precise
focusing is only possible on subjects no closer than
1.2 metres.
≥Up to 10k, the zooming is done optically.
≥The higher the Digital Zoom Magnification is, the
lower is the picture quality.
≥If you zoom to 10k or higher (digital zoom range)
when [PROGRESSIVE] on the [CAMERA SETUP]
Sub-Menu is set to [AUTO], the Progressive
Photoshot Mode is automatically cancelled.
≥When you have zoomed to 10k or higher (digital
zoom range), manually adjusting the white balance is
not possible.
≥During the Mega-Pixel Setting (p. 82), the Digital
Zoom Function cannot be used. (NV-MX5, NV-MX7
