BASIC RECORDING
While using the viewfinder or LCD monitor, grip the camera firmly
with your right hand while supporting the body with your left. Keep
your elbows at your side and your feet shoulder-width apart to hold
the camera steadily. Take care not to cover the lens with your fingers
or the strap.
Handling the camera
This section covers the basic operation of this camera. Thoroughly
familiarize yourself with the operations in this section before moving
on to the other sections in the manual.
Using the zoom lens
The zoom lever controls the lens (1).
Sliding the lever to the right (T) will zoom
in to the telephoto position of the lens.
Sliding the lever to the left (W) will zoom
out to the wide-angle position.
After zooming, the zoom scale is dis-
played briefly. If the digital zoom is
active, the yellow section of the scale
indicates the digital-zoom range.
