DIGITAL ZOOM

DIGITAL ZOOM
The digital zoom increases the magnification of the power zoom by 2 times. You must place
the subject you wish to magnify at the center of the viewfinder or LCD monitor.
Press and hold the power zoom T control until you find the picture you want. You control the
zoom with the power zoom T and W controls. When "DISPLAY" is pressed and the display
appears in the viewfinder or LCD monitor, "ZOOM" is displayed to signal to you that the
camcorder is in the digital zoom area.
NOTE: When the digital zoom is used, the more the image is magnified, the rougher the
picture becomes. Also even a slight shaking of the camcorder is conspicuous.
MACRO
Allows you to shoot objects as close as 3/8 inch (1 cm) from the lens tip. Press and hold "W"
side of power zoom switch. An object is auto focused.
NOTES:
• Determine the size of the object by moving the camera backward and forward.
• Be careful as the lighting tends to be insufficient when shooting in the above conditions.
INSTANT ZOOM
The instant zoom feature activates the digital zoom to magnify the subject 1.5 times regardless
of zooming engaged by the power zoom T and W controls.
Press "INST. ZOOM" and the picture is magnified 1.5 times.
When "DISPLAY" is pressed and the display appears in the viewfinder, "I.ZOOM" is displayed
to signal to you that the camcorder is in the instant zoom mode.
