MACRO RECORDING
Use the macro function when recording a small object from close-up position: You can shoot the
subject as close as approximately 13/16" (2 cm) from the lens surface, magnifying the image to fill
the screen.
1
Aim the DVD video camera/recorder at the
subject, and press the zoom lever to "W"
control side.
RECORDING SUBJECTS FOR STRONGER WIDE-ANGLE OR TELEPHOTO
EFFECT
Use the tele-conversion lens or wide-conversion lens with the following filter diameter and thread
pitch to record subjects for stronger telephoto or wide-angle effect:
Filter diameter: 34 mm for DZ-GX20A or DZ-MV730A; 30.5 mm for DZ-MV780A
Thread pitch: 0.5 mm
When attaching the optional DZ-TL1 tele-conversion lens or DZ-WL1 wide-conversion lens, use the
optional step-up ring: DZ-SR3437 for DZ-GX20A or DZ-MV730A, DZ-SR3037 for DZ-MV780A (see
page 151).
1
Remove the lens hood from DVD video
camera/recorder, and attach the step-up ring
over the lens.
Lens hood
(Remove)
• Tele-conversion lens:
• Wide-conversion lens: For stronger wide-angle effect
:
Note
• Be careful not to lose the removed lens hood.
• With DZ-TL1 tele-conversion lens, the focusing range
at "T" (telephoto) control side is between approx.
16 feet (5 m) and infinite.
• When a conversion lens is attached, note that the four
corners of screen will be slightly dim if you zoom in on
a subject on the W control side (wide-angle side).
• When replacing the lens, take care not to drop the
DVD video camera/recorder.
• Attaching the conversion lens will disable the function
of the built-in flash (for DZ-GX20A only): Specify
"Flash: Off" (see page 76).
• If a generally available filter is attached, do not attach
the removed lens hood.
For stronger telephoto effect
:
Note
• Zoom can be used, but the subject may not be
focused, depending on the distance to the subject. In
this case, move the zoom to "W" control side to focus.
• The amount of light tends to be insufficient during
macro recording: If the subject image is too dark, use
additional lighting.
2
Remove the cap of conversion lens, and screw
the lens into the thread of step-up ring.
