Using the Optical Zoom
With this function, you can make people and
subjects appear closer with the 12 times
optical zoom, and landscapes can be
captured in wide angle.
[Preparation]
• Set the mode dial except for [ ]. (P25)
1 Aim the camera at the subject and
adjust the size with the zoom lever.
To make subjects appear closer
(Tele):
Rotate towards T.
To make subjects appear further away
(Wide angle):
Rotate towards W.
2 Take a picture.
• The focus is adjusted at a distance of more
than 3.94 feet (120 cm) (Tele)/0.98 feet
(30 cm) (Wide). For details on simple mode/
aperture-priority AE/shutter-priority AE/
macro mode, read P31/P45/P46/P47.
• The picture may be slightly distorted
according to the lens. The distortion will
increase as you make subjects wider and
closer.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• 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.
