Kodak Zi8 Macro Test: How To get More Magnification In The Macro Mode Without Using An Extra Lens

A demonstration showing a way of enhancing the magnification in the Macro Mode using the zoom. This does induce a bit of noise into the video because the zoom is electronic and not optical, but nothing to get too bothered about.
If you use the 1080p setting and the zoom in the macro mode you will get even more magnification but at the expense of more noise

That is awesome! I had been trying to do this since I got the camera (the day it came out!). You rock, as always.

Thanks friend, I didn't know you had this great little camera. I only found this out by accident a couple of days ago when I was playing with the settings. I wasn't sure whether to get this or the Flip, I think this just has the edge over the Flip don't you think?

That looks great. Well done.

What file format does this camcorder output? .mov .wmv. .avi .mp4

Are the files drag and drop to PC/Mac?

Can they be edited in Sony Vegas / Windows Movie / ect or do they need to be exported first with the supplies software?
