≥When zooming in and taking a picture while holding the

camera-recorder by hand, we recommend using the image

stabilizer function.

≥When you are zooming on a faraway subject, a sharper focus

is achieved if the recording subject is 1.2 m (3.9 feet) or

further from the camera-recorder.

≥When the zoom speed is high, the subject may not be

focused easily.

≥When the zoom magnification is 1k, the camera-recorder can

focus on a subject approx. 4 cm (1.6 inches) distant from the

lens.

Digital zoom function

If the zoom magnification exceeds 10 times, then the digital

zoom function will be activated. The digital zoom function

allows you to select a magnification from 20k to 500k.

Set [ADVANCE] >> [D.ZOOM] >> [20k] or [500k].

[OFF]:

Optical zoom only (Up to 10k)

[20k]:

[500k]:

Up to 500k

≥The larger the digital zoom magnification, the more the image

quality is degraded.

To use the zoom microphone function

Interlocked with the zooming operation, the microphone will

collect sounds clearly far away with the tele-shot or those in the

vicinity with the wide-angle shot.

≥Set to Tape Recording Mode.

Set [ADVANCE] >> [ZOOM MIC] >> [ON].

About the variable speed zoom function

≥When pushing the [W/T] lever as far as it will go, you can

zoom from 1k to 10k in 2.1 second at the maximum.

of the [W/T] lever.

Adjusting the Microphone Sensitivity Level

You can adjust the microphone sensitivity for recording.

or [SET].

≥AGC*: Auto Gain Control

AGC is activated, and the recording level is

adjusted automatically.

[SETrAGC]: The desired recording level can be set. AGC will

also be activated to reduce the amount of

distortion in the music.

[SET]:

AGC is not activated and so natural recording

can be performed. Adjust in such a way that the

sound will not be distorted at the maximum

volume level.

Press the [2] or [1] button to increase or decrease the

bars of the gain value.

Press the [MENU] or [ENTER] button to complete the

settings.

≥Adjust the gain value so that the last 3 Bars of the [ ] will not

light red. (Otherwise,the Sound is distorted.)

≥The [MIC LEVEL] ([AUTO], [SETrAGC] or [SET]) setting on

the [TAPE RECORDING MENU] and

[TAPE PLAYBACK MENU] will be the same.

(Microphone sensitivity level can be adjusted on each mode

separately.)

≥When [ZOOM MIC] is set to [ON], set the zoom to the [T]

position before performing this adjustment.

≥Select a lower setting for gain value or set [MIC LEVEL] to

[AUTO].

≥It is recommended that you check through the headphones

before recording to ensure that the sound is not distorted.
