Zooming
To produce the zoom in/out effect. Digital circuitry extends the maximum magnification offered by optical zoom. This system is called Digital Zoom. � Slide the Power Zoom Lever 3 towards �T� to zoom in, or �W� to zoom out. � The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever 3, the quicker the zoom action. � 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. 18, FOCUS in CAMERA MENU), then zoom in or out in Record mode. � The zoom level indicator moves during zoom. Once the zoom level indiator reaches the top, all magnification from that point is through digital processing. � When using Digital Zoom, the quality of image may suffer. To deactivate Digital Zoom, set �D.ZOOM� ( pg. 20) to �OFF� in SYSTEM MENU. � Digital zoom cannot be used when the �VIDEO ECHO� mode ( pg. 23, �Digital Effects�) is activated.
