Using the Camera
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 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.
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to
interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position.
The Shutter-release Button
Press halfway
To set focus and exposure (shutter speed and aperture value),
press the shutter-release button lightly (halfway) until you feel a
slight resistance. Focus and exposure remain locked while the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
Press all the way
Press the shutter-release button all the way to release the shutter
and take an image.
Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as this
may result in camera shake and blurred images. Press the button
gently.
