Using the zoom feature
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the
scene.
“T” side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
“W” side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther away)
Zooming speed (Variable speed zooming)
Press the power zoom button a little for a slower zoom, press it more for a faster zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, press the power zoom
button to the “W” side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least
about 2 5/8 feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or
about 1/2 inch (about 1 cm) away in the wide-angle position.
Notes on digital zoom
• More than 10x zoom is performed digitally if you set D ZOOM to ON in the menu
system, and the picture quality deteriorates as you go toward the “T” side.
• The upper side [a] of the power zoom indicator shows the digital zooming zone, and
the lowerside [b] shows the optical zooming zone. If you set the D ZOOM function to
OFF, the [a] zone disappears.
