excitement to your videos. Adding fades to smooth transitions creates videos with a
professional look.

add a special touch.

Using the Power Zoom

The power zoom W control widens the picture, moving the subject farther away, while
the power zoom T control brings the subject closer, narrowing the picture. If ZOOM
appears at the left of the viewfinder, the digital zoom function shown below has been
engaged.
When the power zoom switch is operated, the zoom position is displayed in the
viewfinder for about 5 seconds and then disappears. The zoom position is displayed in
10 steps.

Using the Digital Zoom

The digital zoom increases the magnification of the power zoom by 2 times. You must
place the subject you wish to magnify at the center of the viewfinder.
Note: This digital zoom has certain limitation and may degradative at extreme
magnification and amplify camcorder's movement.
