Using the Optical Zoom
You can make people and subjects appear
closer with the 3 times optical zoom, and
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
∫ To make subjects appear further away
use (Wide)
∫ To make subjects appear closer use
(Tele)
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k)
when the camera is turned on.
• The picture may have some distortion
(typical example: vertical straight line bent
outwards). This is due to the lens
aberration, which is common to some
extent with all photographic lenses.
Distortion may be more visible when using
a wider area of the zoom lens as you get
closer to the subject.
• When using the zoom lens at high
magnification, the quality of the picture
can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At
high magnification, even small
movements can cause a slight decrease
in picture sharpness.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• In motion image mode [ ], the zoom
magnification is fixed to the value set at
the start of recording.
• The lens barrel (P10) is ejected or
retracted according to the zoom position.
• Take care not to interrupt the motion of the
lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
• If you wish to make subjects appear even
closer, use the digital zoom. Select [ON]
for [D.ZOOM] in the [REC] mode menu for
using the digital zoom. (P69)
