25x Optical Zoom
Move the zoom lever toward W to zoom out (wide-
angle). Move it toward T to zoom in (telephoto).
You can also change the zoom speed ( 33). You can select one
of three fixed zoom speeds or a variable speed that depends on
how you operate the zoom lever: Press lightly for a slow zoom;
press harder for faster zooms.
Keep at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) to the subject. At wide-angle, you can focus on a
subject as close as 1 cm (0.39 in.).
When set to [VARIABLE], the zoom speed will be faster in the record pause
mode.
