Mastering the Basics
The camera’s 10⋅ zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each scene:
•Move the zoom control towards W to zoom out to
•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.
40⋅ digital 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 1⋅ and 40⋅ magnification — the camera automatically switches between optical zooming (up to 10⋅) and digital zooming (10⋅ to 40⋅). A zoom bar shows up in the display. The digital zoom area is in blue.
