As a general rule, the further you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever toward [W] or [T], the faster the zooming
speed.
≥
In the Recording Pause Mode, if you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever toward [W] or [T] until you feel a click,
you can zoom between 1
k
and 12
k
in an extremely
fast approximately 0.5 seconds.
(Jet Zoom)
≥
During recording, zooming between 1
k
and 12
k
is
possible in as short a time as approximately
1.2 seconds. However, even if you push the [W/T]
Zoom Lever until you feel a click, it is not possible to
zoom faster than in 1.2 seconds. Therefore, it is not
recommended that you push the [W/T] Zoom Lever
all the way until you feel a click, as a click sound
could be recorded in this case.
≥
During very fast zooming, the picture may temporarily
go out of focus.
≥
When you have zoomed to the tele setting, precise
focusing is only possible on subjects no closer than
1.2 metres.

≥
The visual shutter effect and click sound may occur
with slight delay after recording of the still picture has
started.

The picture quality deteriorates slightly.
Using the Zoom Microphone Function
When using Zoom-in to record from a distance, a
zoom effect which makes the sound in front of
the Movie Camera more audible can be
achieved.

signals.
Recording Extra Close-up Shots of
Small Subjects (Macro Close-up
Function)
When the zoom magnification is 1
k
, the
Movie Camera can focus on subjects
down to a distance of approximately
45 mm between lens and subject. This
allows recording very small subjects such
as insects.
