The following table gives approximate recording times. FUNC. ( 26) [ STANDARD PLAY 6Mbps] Desired recording mode NOTES • The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes. • The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the camcorder to mode. Zooming: Optical, Advanced and Digital Zoom The camcorder offers three types of zoom: optical, advanced and digital zoom when recording movies. (In mode only the optical zoom is available.)

Default value [ OPTICAL] (37x) The zoom range is limited to the optical magnification ratio of the lens. [ ADVANCED].. (Advanced Zoom) In addition to the optical zoom range, the camcorder processes the image digitally to obtain a larger zoom range without any deterioration in image quality. When recording movies with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the field of view (picture angle) will change. Refer to the table in the NOTES section. [ DIGITAL] (2000x) When this option is selected, the camcorder will switch to digital zoom (light blue area on the zoom indicator) when you zoom in beyond the optical zoom range (white area on the zoom indicator). With the digital zoom the image is processed digitally so image quality will deteriorate the more you zoom in. FUNC. ( 26) FUNC. [ MENU] [ CAMERA SETUP] [ZOOM TYPE] Desired option FUNC.
