Using the zoom feature

Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the 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 (Variable speed zooming)
Turn the power zoom lever fully for a high-speed zoom. Turn it lightly for a relatively slow zoom. When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, move the power zoom lever to 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 1/ 2 inches (about 1 cm) in the wide-angle position. Notes on digital zoom More than 15x 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 D ZOOM to OFF in the menu system. The right side [a] of the power zoom indicator shows the digital zooming zone, and the left side [b] shows the optical zooming zone. If you set D ZOOM to OFF, the right [a] zone disappears.

Tips for using the battery pack
This section shows you how you can get the most out of your battery pack.
Preparing the battery pack
Always carry additional batteries
Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3 times as much recording as you have planned.
Battery life is shorter in cold environment
Battery efficiency is decreased, and the battery will be used up more quickly, if you are recording in cold environment.

To save battery power

Turn the STANDBY switch on the camcorder down when not recording to save battery power. A smooth transition between scenes can be made even if recording is stopped and started again. While positioning the subject, selecting an angle, or looking through the viewfinder lens or on the LCD screen, the lens moves automatically and the battery is used. The battery is also used when a cassette is inserted or removed.
When to replace the battery
While you are using your camcorder, the remaining battery indicator decreases gradually as battery power is used up.

When the remaining battery indicator reaches the lowest point, the i indicator appears and starts flashing. When the i indicator changes from slow flashing to rapid flashing while you are recording, set the POWER switch to OFF on the camcorder and replace the battery pack. Leave the tape in the camcorder to obtain smooth transition between scenes before and after the battery pack has been replaced. Note on the remaining battery indicator The remaining battery indicator of the camcorder may indicate a different remaining capacity from that of the battery pack with its own indicator (not supplied). The indicator on the battery pack is more accurate.
Notes on the rechargeable battery pack
Never leave the battery pack in temperatures above 140 F (60 C), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight.

The battery heats up

During charging or recording, the battery pack heats up. This is caused by energy that has been generated and a chemical change that has occurred inside the battery pack. This is not cause for concern and is normal.

Battery pack care

Remove the battery pack from the camcorder after using it, and keep it in a cool place. When the battery pack is installed to the camcorder, a small amount of current flows to the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set to OFF. This shortens battery life. The battery pack is always discharging even when it is not in use after charging. Therefore, you should charge the battery right before using the camcorder.
How to use the switch on the battery pack
When the switch is supplied with the battery pack [a], you can use it to find whether the battery pack is charged or not. Set the switch to the no mark position when charging is completed. Set the switch to the red mark position when the battery is used up (or in whichever direction you want to remind yourself).
The life of the battery pack
If the battery indicator flashes rapidly just after turning on the camcordrer with a fully charged battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced with a new fully charged one.

Charging temperature

You should charge batteries at temperatures from 50 F to 86 F (from 10 C to 30 C). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.
Sony batteries are recommended
Use of non-Sony batteries may damage your Handycam camcorder.

Notes on charging

A brand-new battery
A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before using the battery pack, charge it completely.

After long storage

Recharge the battery pack after a long period of storage. If the battery pack is charged fully but not used for a long time (about one year), it becomes discharged. Charge it again, but in this case the battery life will be shorter than normal. After several charging and discharging cycles, the battery life will recover its original capacity.

The autofocusing function does not work.
Recording stops in a few seconds. The title display position shifts. The fader function does not work. No sound or only a low sound is heard when playing back a tape (CCD-TRV52/TRV512 only).
