Using the Zoom Feature

Zooming is a'recording technique that lets you change tile size of the subject in the scene. For more

professional-looking recordings, use the zoom sparingly.

T side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)

W side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)

Zooming Speed

Turn the pow_.zoom lever fully fora high-speed zoom. Turn it lightly fora relatively slow zoom.

When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom

If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, turn the power zoom lever towards the

W side until the focus is sharp.

You can shoot a subject that is at least 2.6 feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto

position, or I / 2 inch (about 1 cm) in the wide-angle position.

Notes on Digital Zoom (for CCD-TR74/TR84/rR94 only)

You can select 12 x or 24 x of zooming.

• More than 12 x zoom is performed digitally, and the picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the

T side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom set the ZOOM function to xl2 (p. 29).

• The vertical bar in the power zoom indicator separates the digital zooming zone (right side of the bar

[a]) and the optical zooming zone (left side of the bar [b]). If you slide the ZOOM switch to x12, the

right side of the bar [a] disappears.
