The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom
lens position changes.
• To zoom in closer to the subject: Move
toward g(telephoto)
• To zoom out and view a larger area: Move
toward f(wide-angle)
When you turn the camera on, the zoom
moves to the maximum wide-angle
position.
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of
the shooting screen when the zoom control
is moved.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to further
magnify the subject up to approximately 4×
the maximum optical zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding
the zoom control toward g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum
optical zoom position.

when the zoom magnification is increased further.
