FEATURE:
Zooming
PURPOSE:
To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instanta-
neous change in image magnification.
OPERATION:
Zoom In
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “T”.
Zoom Out
Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “W”.
䡲 The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the
quicker the zoom action.
NOTES:
● Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In
this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby,
lock the focus by using the manual focus
(
墌 pg. 24), then zoom in or out in Record mode.
● Zooming is possible to a maximum of 300X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the
optical zoom (
墌 pg. 29).
● Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through
Digital image processing, and is therefore called
Digital Zoom.
● During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
● Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/
MEMORY Switch is set to “MEMORY” (
墌 pg. 14).
● Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is
set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in
the Menu Screen on page 30.
