Taking Pictures with
the Zoom
You can make people and subjects appear
closer with the 3.6k optical zoom and
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
∫ To make subjects appear closer use
(Tele)
Rotate the zoom lever towards
Tele.
• When the setting for picture size is
[] (6M).
∫ To make subjects appear further away
use (Wide)
Rotate the zoom lever towards
Wide.
• When the setting for picture size is
[] (6M).
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k)
when the camera is turned on.
• Depending on the zoom magnification, the
picture may have some distortion.
Distortion will be more visible when using
a wider area of the zoom lens as you
move closer to the subject.
• Depending on the zoom magnification, the
picture may have some colored fringes
around the subject. This is called
chromatic aberration and may be more
visible when recording distant subjects.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• The lens barrel (P10) extends or retracts
according to the zoom position. Take care
not to interrupt the motion of the lens
barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
• In motion picture mode [ ], the zoom
magnification is fixed to the value set at
the start of recording.
This camera has a 3.6
k
optical zoom. However,
if the picture size is not set to the highest setting
for each aspect ratio [ / / ], a
maximum of 5
k
optical zoom can be achieved
with no picture quality deterioration.
