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. 12, �Auto/Manual Focus�), then zoom in or out in Record mode. � The zoom level indicator O- moves during zoom. Once the zoom level indiator Oreaches 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� ( MENU. pg. 20) to �OFF� in SYSTEM

OFF : Turns off the light. AUTO: Automatically turns on the light when the camcorder senses insufficient lighting on the subject. ON : Always keeps the light on as long as the camcorder is turned on. � It is recommended to set M.W.B.

Press LIGHT # repeatedly until �ON� or �OFF� is selected as required. � While the �Sports� or �High Speed Shutter� mode is engaged, the light is likely to stay on. While the �Twilight� mode is engaged, the light will not activate. ( pg. 24, �Programme AE with Special Effects�) DANGER � The video light can become extremely hot. Do not touch it either while in operation or soon after turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result. � Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case immediately after using the video light, since it remains extremely hot for some time. � When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm between the video light and people or objects. � Do not use near flammable or explosive materials. � It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC dealer for replacing the video light.
