ZOOMING

This camcorder features 12x intelli - zoom in the Video ( ) mode and 8x optical zoom in the Photo ( ) mode to make distant subjects appear closer.

Tip

The zoom speed of this camcorder is not variable. Use the zoom lever for high speed zoom and zoom button on the LCD panel for low speed zoom.

• Using the optical zoom does not degrade the image quality and clarity.

•Use the digital zoom when you want to zoom more than the optical or intelli zoom range. page 80

•Automatic focusing may become unstable when you record using a fast zoom or when you zoom into a subject that is too far away. If this occurs, use the manual focus function. page 69

•The minimum distance you can have between the camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 10cm (about 3.9 inches) for wide angle and about 1m (about 39.37 inches) for telephoto. If you want to shoot a subject close up at a wide angle, use the Tele Macro function.

•When using the zoom function and holding the camcorder in your hands, use “Anti-Shake (HDIS)” for stable recording. page 76

•Frequent use of the zoom function consumes more power.
