Zooming
You can operate the zoom (optical zoom 20x) using the zoom rocker on the side grip or the one on the handle.
You can also use the zoom ring on the lens or the zoom buttons on the supplied wireless controller.
In addition to the optical zoom, you can use the digital zoom* to extend the zoom range to 120x, or digital tele-
converter** function to increase the focal length by a factor of approximately 1.5, 3 or 6.
* In the range beyond the optical zoom (20x to 120x), the image is processed digitally affecting image quality.
** The image is processed digitally throughout the zoom range affecting image quality.
Selecting the Zoom Mode
1 Open the zoom’s [Mode] submenu.
[~ Camera Setup] > [Zoom] > [Mode]
2 Select the desired option and then press SET.
Options
[Tele-converter 6.0x], [Tele-converter 3.0x], [Tele-converter 1.5x]:
The camcorder processes the image digitally to multiply the
focal length by a factor of 6, 3 or 1.5, respectively.
[Digital Zoom]: The camcorder uses the optical zoom up to 20x and
processes the image digitally after that, up to a magnification
ratio of 120x.
[Normal]: The camcorder uses only the optical zoom up to 20x.
When you operate the zoom, a zoom indicator* will appear on the screen that
shows the approximate zoom position. The white area of the zoom bar indicates
the optical zoom range and the blue area** indicates the digital zoom range.
* You can use the [w Other Functions] > [Custom Function] > [Zoom Indicator] setting (A 141)
to set the zoom indicator to a numerical display.
** Only when [~ Camera Setup] > [Zoom] > [Mode] is set to [Digital Zoom].
NOTES
• You can set [~ Camera Setup] > [Wide-End Angle] to [Wider] to make the focal length at the wide-angle
end of the zoom range even shorter (approximately 26.8 mm, 35mm-equivalent) and enjoy a wider angle of
view. If you set an assignable button to [Wide-End Angle] (A 129), you can press the button to switch
between the [Normal] and [Wider] settings.
• You can attach the TL-H58 Tele-converter or WA-H58 Wide Attachment (both optional) to the camcorder
(A 80). You can even use the TL-H58 in combination with the digital zoom and digital tele-converter
functions.
• If you set an assignable button to [Tele-converter] (A 129), you can press the button to activate the digital
tele-converter and select the magnification factor. If you set an assignable button to [Digital Zoom] (A 129),
you can press the button to turn the digital zoom on/off.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camcorder, if the zoom mode is set to one
of the [Tele-converter] options, the remote controller’s EXTENDER indicator will light up.
•When [~ Camera Setup] > [Conversion Lens] is set to [WA-H58], the digital zoom and digital tele-
converter options are not available.
