Step 5—Compose a photograph

Frame your subject in the viewfinder or the color LCD monitor. Press the zoom-in switch (T/▲) to magnify the subject so that only a portion of it fills the frame, or use the zoom-out switch (W/▼) to expand the field-of- view so that more of the subject is visible. While the zoom switch is pressed, an indicator showing the amount of zoom is displayed in the color LCD monitor.

Zoom indicator

Note: Wait a moment for the camera to focus after zooming in or out.

At maximum zoom, the subject can be further magnified by holding the zoom-in switch down for two seconds. If the LCD monitor is on, the camera will enter digital-zoommode, magnifying the subject digitally by two times. While the camera is in digital-zoom mode, the zoom indicator and AF lamp will blink.

Note: The viewfinder is equipped with optical zoom linked to the lens. The viewfinder does not however show images framed in digital-zoom mode at the actual zoom ratio. Use the monitor when taking photographs with digital zoom.
