•
When the Extended Tele Conversion is used, angle of view for still pictures will be different from
the angle of view for motion pictures because the zoom factor is different between them. Angle
of view for recording can be checked beforehand by matching the [Rec Area] (P158) setting to
the mode you wish to record in.

pictures.
