Taking Pictures
When the zoom is set to a wide angle, more of the scene is included.
When the zoom is set to telephoto, distant objects appear closer. Wide
angle settings make near-to-far objects look further apart than they really
are while telephoto settings make them look closer together.
1 In Capture mode, turn the zoom
lever toward x or w.
x Tele : Brings the subject closer with a
narrow angle of view.
w Wide : Makes the subject smaller with a
wider angle of view.
You can take pictures at up to three times
magnification using the optical zoom. When the
digital zoom is on, you can combine it with the
optical zoom to enlarge the subject to a
maximum magnification equivalent to 12 times.
Caution
You cannot use the optical zoom when the focus mode is set to q (Macro).
Only the digital zoom is available.
Memo
• Camera shake is likely to occur when taking pictures at telephoto settings.
To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the self-timer or remote control
function.
• Using the digital zoom produces a slightly grainy image. For the best image
quality, use optical zoom.
