Option Description
Zoom (default setting)
When shooting, use the side zoom control (A31) to adjust the
zoom.
Manual focus
When the focus mode is set to E (manual focus), use the side
zoom control to focus (E2).
• Use the side zoom control in the direction of g to focus on
distant subjects.
• Use the side zoom control in the direction of f to focus on
near subjects.
Snap-back zoom
This is convenient when shooting at the telephoto position,
when it is more difficult to keep subjects in focus. Use the side
zoom control in the direction of f to zoom a specific increment
from the current zoom position toward the f side. Use it in the
direction of f again to move the zoom position further toward
f side. Use it in the direction of g to return to the original zoom
position, before the side zoom control was used.
• When using the digital zoom, use the side zoom control in the
direction of f to move to the telephoto end of the optical
zoom.
• If you perform any operation other than the side zoom
control, the zoom is not returned to the zoom position before
the operation.
• Snap-back zoom is not available during movie recording.
