Notes:
• When zooming, as a rule, keep at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) between you and your
subject. However when the zoom is at the wide-angle position, you can focus
on a subject as close as 0.39 in. (1 cm).
• Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than 10×.
• You cannot use digital zoom in the Night and Super Night recording program.
• You cannot use digital zoom when the multi-image screen is set. The display
becomes “– – –”.
• The zoom indicator appears for 4 seconds. When the digital zoom is set to 40×,
the zoom indicator extends (light blue). When the digital zoom is set to 400×
zoom, the zoom indicator extends again (a darker blue).
• Because the image stabilizer cannot be used in CARD CAMERA mode, we
recommend mounting the camcorder on a tripod at large magnifications.
