Move the zoom lever toward

zoom out (wide-angle). Move it toward

zoom speeds or a variable speed that
depends on how you operate the zoom
lever: Press gently for a slow zoom; press
harder for faster zooms.
NOTES
You can also use the
T
and

buttons on the wireless controller. The zoom
speed with the wireless controller will be the
same as with the camcorder (when one of the
fixed zoom speed levels is selected) or fixed at
[
SPEED 3] (when [
VARIABLE] is
selected).
When set to [
VARIABLE], the zoom
speed will be faster in the record pause mode.
Keep at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) to the subject. At
wide-angle, you can focus on a subject as close
as 1 cm (0.39 in.).
