15x Optical Zoom
Move the zoom lever toward
W
(wide
angle) to zoom out. Move it toward
T
(telephoto) to zoom in.
By default, the zoom lever operates at a
variable speed – press gently for a slow
zoom; press harder for faster zooms.
NOTES
• Keep at least 1 m away from the sub-
ject. At full wide angle, you can focus
on a subject as close as 1 cm.
• In
or
mode, you can also
set
/
[Zoom Speed]
(
133) to one of three constant
speeds (3 is the fastest, 1 the slow-
est).
• When [Zoom Speed] is set to [
Variable]:
- When you use the
T
and
W
buttons on the wireless controller or LCD
panel, the zoom speed will be constant at [
Speed 3].
- The zoom speed will be faster in record pause mode than when
actually recording, except when pre-recording (
64) is activated.
Quick Start Function
When you close the LCD panel with the camcorder on, the camcorder
enters the standby mode. In standby mode the camcorder consumes
only about 1/3 the power used when recording, saving energy when
you are using a battery pack. Additionally, when you open the LCD
panel, the camcorder is ready to start recording in approximately
1 second*, allowing you to record the subject right away.
* The actual time required varies depending on the shooting conditions.
1 With the camcorder on and in a recording mode, close the LCD
panel.
