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 (A42).
• 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.
