Adjusting the Lens

The lens can be gently rotated up to 180 ° forward from the storage position (0 °) or 90 ° back to face the user for a quick arms-length self-portrait. When the lens is rotated to face the user, the monitor shows a mirror im- age of what will appear in the ﬁ nal photograph.

Using a Tripod

Rotate the lens to shooting position before mounting the camera on a tripod. Contact with the tripod can damage the camera lens.

Zoom

The zoom control is used to frame subjects in the mon- itor. Select W to zoom out, increasing the area visible in the frame. Select T to zoom in up to 10 × so that the subject ﬁ lls a larger area of the frame. The amount of zoom is displayed in the monitor.

zoom control is pressed	digital zoom is in eﬀect

Holding the control to T at 10 × zoom will trigger digital zoom, allowing the subject to be magniﬁ ed up to 4 × more, for a total of magniﬁ cation of 40 ×.

Digital Zoom

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of detail visible in the picture. Instead, details visible at 10 × zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.
