The farther you slide the Zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.
Be sure to keep your finger on the Zoom lever. If you move your finger off the Zoom lever, the operation
sound of the Zoom lever may be also recorded.
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.

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.
Optical zoom preserves the movie quality, but during digital zoom the quality of image may suffer.
When you zoom into a subject close to the lens, the miniDV camcorder may automatically zoom out
depending on the distance to the subject. In this case, set "Macro" to "On."
