Zooming

To zoom in and out, you can use the focus/zoom ring, the zoom rocker on the camcorder or the zoom

controls on the touch screen.

In addition to the 20x optical zoom, you can turn on the digital zoom* (400x) with the [FUNC.] >

[MENU] > p > [Digital Zoom] setting.

This camcorder also features a digital tele-converter, which allows you to enlarge the image on the

screen digitally.

* Digital zoom is not available in mode or when [FUNC.] > [MENU] > p > [Conversion

Lens] is set to [WA-H58].

Using the Focus/Zoom Ring

1 Set the focus/zoom ring switch to ZOOM.

2 Turn the focus/zoom ring to adjust the zoom.

• Turn the focus/zoom ring slowly for a slow zoom; turn it

faster for faster zooms.

• The zoom bar that appears on the screen indicates the

approximate zoom position.

NOTES

• If you turn the focus/zoom ring too quickly, the camcorder

may not be able to zoom immediately. In such case, the

camcorder will zoom after you finish turning the ring.
