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.
