Be sure to keep your fi nger on the Zoom lever. If you move your fi nger
off the zoom lever, the operation sound of the Zoom lever may be also
recorded.
You can also zoom with the Zoom (W/T) button on the LCD panel.
The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while
maintaining sharp focus is about 1 cm (about 0.39 inch) for wide angle
and 50 cm (about 19.68 inch) for telephoto.
Focusing may become unstable during zooming. In this case, set the
zoom before recording and lock the focus by using the manual focus,
then zoom in or out during recording.

ZOOMING
Use the zoom function for close-up or wide-angle recording.
This memory camcorder allows you to record using optical 34x power zoom and
1200x digital zoom.
You can zoom with the Zoom lever or the zoom (W/T) button on the LCD panel.
The further you slide the Zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.
To zoom in
Slide the Zoom lever towards T (telephoto).
To zoom out
Slide the Zoom lever towards W (wide-angle).
Zoom magnifi cation over 34x is done through digital image processing,
and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 1200x.
Set "Digital Zoom" to "On".
