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)
Rotating the zoom control all the way in
either direction adjusts the zoom quickly.
The zoom can also be operated by moving
the side zoom control (A2) toward g or
f.
The function of the side zoom control can
be set in the Assign side zoom control in
the setup menu (A95).
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of
the monitor 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.
