Using the zoom feature
Move the power zoom lever a little for a slower zoom. Move it further for a faster zoom.
Using the zoom function sparingly results in better-looking recordings.
T: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
W: for wide-angle (subject appears further away)
To zoom greater than 10×
Zoom greater than 10× is performed digitally. To activate the digital zoom, select the digital
zoom power in D ZOOM in the menu settings. The digital zoom function is set to OFF as
a default setting (p. 186).
When you shoot close to a subject
If you cannot get a sharp focus, move the power zoom lever to the “W” side until the
focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 80 cm (about 2 feet 5/8 inch)
away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 1 cm (about 1/2 inch)
away in the wide-angle position.
