Everything fits in the picture with Enhanced Zoom and a Wide-Angle Lens
This compact, easy-to-carry camcorder features 63x Optical Zoom and an amazing 70x Enhanced Optical Zoom. The Enhanced Zoom function uses the effective area of the sensor to further extend the zooming power and record with HD image quality. The 31.6mm wide-angle* lens is especially convenient for recording indoors or in tight spaces, making it possible to shoot at a close distance from the subject while fitting both the subject and surrounding area into the frame. The wide-angle setting also captures beautiful images of wide landscapes and allows large groups of people to fit into the frame, making it highly versatile for use in all kinds of situations.
