Zooming
To zoom in and out, you can use the focus/zoom ring, the zoom rockers on the camcorder and handle
unit, the zoom buttons on the wireless controller or the zoom controls on the touch screen.
In addition to the 20x optical zoom, in mode, you can turn on the digital zoom* (400x) with the
p > [Digital Zoom] setting.
This camcorder also features a digital tele-converter, which allows you to enlarge the image on the
screen digitally.
* Digital zoom is not available in mode or when p > [Conversion Lens] is set to [WA-H58].
Using the Focus/Zoom Ring
1 Set the focus/zoom ring switch to ZOOM.
2 Turn the focus/zoom ring to adjust the zoom.
Turn the focus/zoom ring slowly for a slow zoom; turn it
faster for faster zooms.
The zoom bar that appears on the screen indicates the
approximate zoom position.
NOTES
If you turn the focus/zoom ring too quickly, the camcorder
may not be able to zoom immediately. In such case, the
camcorder will zoom after you finish turning the ring.
