Optical Zoom
Move the zoom lever toward W to
zoom out (wide-angle). Move it toward
T to zoom in (telephoto).
You can also change the zoom speed
( 44). You can select one of three fixed
zoom speeds or a variable speed that
depends on how you operate the zoom
lever: Press gently for a slow zoom; press
harder for faster zooms.
NOTES
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).
When set to [ VARIABLE], the zoom
speed will be faster in the record pause mode.
Keep at least 1 m to the subject. At wide-
angle, you can focus on a subject as close as
1cm.

camcorder, you can get it ready to start
recording within approx. 1 second.
