ª To Take Close-up Shots of Small
Subjects
(Macro Close-up Function)
When the zoom magnification is 1k, the
Camcorder can focus on a subject that is as close
as approximately 1.6 inches (4 cm) from the
Lens. Small subjects like insects can be recorded
with this function.
ª To Use the Tele-Macro Function
With the zoom magnification of 12k, the
Camcorder can bring the subject into focus as
close as approximately 19 inch (50 cm) from the
Lens. Focusing only on the subject and displaying
the background out of focus makes the picture
more impressive.
