Zooming - JVC GZ-MG20U Getting Started

Zooming

Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-
angle shooting. You can zoom in up to 15x* by
using the optical zoom.
To zoom in
Slide the zoom lever towards T (telephoto).
To zoom out
Slide the zoom lever towards W (wide-angle).
W: Wide angle
The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker
the zoom action.
Zoom magnification over 15x* is done through
digital image processing, and is therefore called
digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to
700x*. Set [ZOOM] to [60X] or [700X]*. (
* For GZ-MG30U/GZ-MG20U optical zoom can go
up to 25x, digital zoom – up to 800x, and [ZOOM]
can be set to [100X] or [800X].

VIDEO RECORDING & PLAYBACK
NOTES:
The S-Video cable is optional. Be sure to use the
YTU94146A S-Video cable. Consult the JVC
Service Center described on the sheet included in
the package for details on its availability. Make
sure to connect the end with a core filter to the
camera. The core filter reduces interference.
Focusing may become unstable during zooming.
In this case, set the zoom before recording and
lock the focus by using the manual focus
( pg. 33), then zoom in or out during recording.
During digital zoom, the quality of image may
suffer.
Macro shooting is possible as close as approx.
5 cm (2") to the subject when the zoom lever is set
all the way to W.
When you zoom into a subject close to the lens,
the camera may automatically zoom out
depending on the distance to the subject. In this
case, set [TELE MACRO] to [ON]. (
Deleting Files
If you press during recording mode, the file
recorded most recently will be deleted.
( pg. 39)
However, if the recording mode (video or still
image) is switched or the power is turned off and
on again after recording, you cannot delete the
file.
