o
You
can also use the T and W buttons
on
the wireless controller. The zoom
speed with the wireless controller will be the same as with the camcorder (when
one
of
the fixed zoom speed levels is selected) or fixed at [SPEED
3]
(when
[VARIABLE]
is
selected).
o When the zoom speed
is
set to [VARIABLE], the zoom speed will be faster
in
the stop and record pause modes.
o Overusing the zoom feature when recording movies can result
in
recordings
that may have
an
unsettled feel or cause discomfort
on
playback. Make
effective use
of
the zoom.
o Keep at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) to the subject. At wide-angle, you can focus
on
a
subject as close as 1cm (0.39 in.).
