20⋅ optical zoom

Quick Overview

Operate the zoom controls from either the side grip, the camera handle or the wireless controller. The camera’s 20 ⋅ zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each scene:

•Press the zoom control towards W to zoom out to wide-angle.

•Press it towards T to zoom in to telephoto.

You can control the speed of zooming from the side grip:

•Press the control slightly to zoom slowly.

•Press it farther to zoom more quickly. (The farther you press the zoom control, the faster the zoom speed.)

The T and W buttons on the wireless controller and the camera handle adjust the picture angle, but not the zoom speed. Set the handle-top zoom control to one of three speeds. Open the camera menu and select ZOOM HANDLE , then set it to LOW, MEDIUM or FAST. The speed of the zoom control on the wireless controller cannot be adjusted.

40⋅/100⋅ digital zoom

Turn the digital zoom on by choosing D.ZOOM from the camera menu, to magnify the camera’s zoom range by up to 5⋅.

D.ZOOM¥¥¥¥¥¥40×

The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out between 1⋅ and 40⋅ or

1⋅ and 100⋅ magnification — the camera automatically switches between optical zooming (up to 20 ⋅) and digital zooming (20⋅ to 100⋅).

Notes:

•When zooming, as a rule, keep at least one meter between you and your subject. However when the zoom is at the wide-angle position, you can focus on a subject as close as 3/8 in (1 cm).

•Image resolution decreases the further you zoom towards 100⋅ in digital zoom range.

•When the digital zoom is set to 40⋅, the zoom indicator extends (light blue).

When the digital zoom is set to 100⋅ zoom, the zoom indicator extends again (a darker blue).
