Using the Power Zoom

The power zoom W control widens the picture, moving the subject farther away, while the power zoom T control
brings the subject closer, narrowing the picture. If ZOOM appears at the left of the viewfinder, the digital zoom
function shown below has been engaged.
When the power zoom switch is operated, the zoom position is displayed in the viewfinder for about 5 seconds
and then disappears. The zoom position is displayed in 10 steps.

Using the 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.
Note: This digital zoom has certain limitation and may degradate at extreme magnification and amplify
camcorder's movement.
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 ZOOM is not displayed in the viewfinder, normal zoom functions resume.

Using the INST. ZOOM (Instant Zoom) Button

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.
