If you are not holding the camera, for example when using self-timer recording (→105)
or remote recording (→196), the camera could tilt when the lens barrel extends during
zooming, so make sure to secure the camera in place with a tripod or by other means.
Do not touch the lens barrel during zooming.
Adjust the focus after adjusting the zoom.
The zoom ratio and the zoom bar displayed on the screen are estimates.
The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated -
this is not a malfunction.
