Approximate zoom ratio

Zoom In Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards T. Zoom Out Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards W. The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker the zoom action. NOTES: Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby, lock the focus by using the manual focus ( pg. 21), then zoom in or out in Record mode. Zooming is possible to a maximum of 100X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom ( pg. 23). Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom. During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer. Digital zoom cannot be used when digital image processing, such as Picture Wipe/Dissolve ( pg. 26, 27) or Video Echo ( pg. 28), is activated. Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to W. Also see TELE MACRO in the Menu Screen on page 24.
NOTE: Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback. If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from 00:00:00 (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. To perform Random Assemble Editing ( pg. 52 57), time code is necessary. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from 00:00:00. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform Recording From The Middle of A Tape below in the following cases; When shooting again after playing back a Display recorded tape. When power shuts off during shooting. Frames are not displayed during recording. When a tape is removed and re-inserted during shooting. Minutes When shooting using a partially recorded tape.

FEATURE: Auto Focus PURPOSE:
The camcorders Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) to infinity. However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these cases use manual focusing): When two subjects overlap in the same scene. When illumination is low.* When the subject has no contrast (difference in brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour wall, or a clear, blue sky.* When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.* When the scene contains minute patterns or identical patterns that are regularly repeated. When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light reflecting off the surface of a body of water. When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background. * The following low-contrast warnings appear blinking: , , and NOTES: If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece of soft cloth if it gets dirty. When condensation occurs, wipe with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally. When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first ( pg. 18). If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when TELE MACRO ( pg. 24) is activated.
FEATURE: Manual Focus PURPOSE:

To obtain correct focus.

1) If you are using the viewfinder, you should already have made the necessary viewfinder adjustments ( pg. 8). 2) Set the Power Switch to , then press FOCUS (3). The manual focus indicator appears. 3) To focus on a farther subject, rotate MENU/BRIGHT towards +. appears and blinks. To focus on a nearer subject, rotate MENU/BRIGHT towards. appears and blinks. 4) Press MENU/BRIGHT. Focus adjustment is complete. To reset to Auto Focus, press FOCUS (3) twice or set the Power Switch to . If FOCUS (3) is pressed once, the camcorder will enter the focus adjustment mode again. NOTES: Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position when you use the Manual Focus mode. If you focus in on a subject in the wide-angle position, sharply focused images cannot be obtained when zoomed up because the depth-of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths. When the focus level cannot be adjusted any further or closer, or will blink.
