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 1.0 second at
the maximum.
≥The zoom speed varies according to the amount
of movement of the [W/T] lever.
≥For the Magic Wire Remote Control with
Narration Mic, the zoom speed changes in
2 stages.
≥The variable speed zoom function cannot be
used with the remote control.

Recording yourself

You can record yourself while viewing the LCD
monitor. You can record persons in front of the
Camcorder while showing them the image. The
image is horizontally flipped as if you see a mirror
image. (The image to be recorded is the same as
that recording.)

Rotate the LCD monitor towards the lens
side.
≥When the LCD monitor is opened, the
viewfinder will be automatically turned off. If the
LCD monitor is rotated towards the lens side
though, then the viewfinder will be activated.
≥When the LCD monitor is rotated towards the
lens side, the icon will not be displayed even if
you push the center of the joystick.

Quick start

This Camcorder will be put into standby in
approx. 1.7 seconds after the power is turned on.
≥This is only activated in the following cases.

Recording Mode is set.
≥A card is inserted, while the Card Recording
Mode is set.
1
Press the [QUICK START] button.
≥The quick start recording lamp lights up.
(Press the button again to cancel it.)
2
Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF].
≥The quick start is now ready.
3
Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [ON].
≥This Camcorder will be put into a recording
pause in approx. 1.7 seconds after it is turned on.
ª
To cancel the quick start when the
power is [OFF]
Press and hold the [QUICK START] button for
approx. 2 seconds. The lamp will go off and the
Camcorder will be completely turned off.
≥If the standby continues for approx. 30 minutes,
then the lamp will go off and the Camcorder will
be completely turned off.
≥When you rotate the mode dial or remove the
battery, the quick start recording lamp is turned
off and the quick start mode is canceled. If the
Camcorder is turned on and the Tape/Card
Recording Mode is set though, the lamp turns
on and the quick start mode is restored.
≥When the Camcorder is quick-started with the
white balance on automatic, it may take some
time until the white balance is adjusted if the
scene being recorded has a light source different
from the scene last recorded. (When the
MagicPix function is used, however, the white
balance of the scene last recorded is retained.)
≥The zoom magnification differs from when it is in
the quick start standby mode and when the
recording starts.
≥Since about half the power of normal recording is
used in quick start standby, using quick start reduces
the time during which pictures can be recorded.
