USING THE EXTERNAL MICROPHONE

microphone and start recording.
• This HD camcorder cannot use a plug-in power type microphone

ZOOMING
This HD camcorder allows you to record using optical 10x power zoom and digital
zoom with the Zoom lever or the Zoom button on the LCD panel.
To zoom in
Slide the Zoom lever towards T (telephoto).
(Or press the T (zoom) button on the LCD panel.)
To zoom out
Slide the Zoom lever towards W (wide-angle).
(Or press the W (zoom) button on the LCD panel.)
• The further you slide the Zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.
• Zoom magnification over 10x is done through digital image processing, and is
therefore called digital zoom. You can achieve up to 20x magnification by using
digital zooming. Set “Digital Zoom” to “On.”

• During digital zoom, the image quality may suffer.
• Macro shooting is possible as close as approx. 3 cm (1.2”) to the subject
when the Zoom lever is set all the way to W.
• When you zoom into a subject close to the lens, the HD camcorder may
automatically zoom out depending on the distance to the subject. In this
case, set “Tele Macro” to “On.”
