Mastering the Basics

The camera’s 10zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each scene:

Move the zoom control towards W to zoom out to wide-angle.

Move it towards T to zoom in to telephoto.

You can also control the speed of zooming:

Move the control slightly to zoom slowly.

Move it farther to zoom more quickly. (The farther you move the zoom control, the faster the zoom speed.)

The T and W buttons on the wireless controller adjust the picture angle, but not the zoom speed.

40digital zoom

Magnifies the camera’s zoom range by up to 4.

The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out between 1and 40magnification — the camera automatically switches between optical zooming (up to 10) and digital zooming (10to 40). A zoom bar shows up in the display. The digital zoom area is in blue.

To turn the digital zoom off, open the menu and select CAM.SET UP. Then select D.ZOOM, set it to OFF and close the menu.

When zooming, as a rule, keep at least 3 ft 33/8 in (1 m) 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 is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than 10.

You cannot use digital zoom when the multi-image screen is set. The display

20becomes “– – –”.
