ring on the lens or the zoom buttons on the wireless controller. With the customized functions ( 83) E you can change the direction of the adjustment when you turn the zoom ring, turn the high-speed zoom on/off or change the zoom indicator to a graphic bar or a numeric value display.

About the Variable Zoom Speeds

Zoom lever on the side grip:

When the ZOOM SPEED switch is set to C (constant), the zoom speed itself does not change, but you can select one of 16 levels of zoom speed with the ZOOM SPEED dial (a number indicating the level will be displayed next to the zoom indicator).

When the ZOOM SPEED switch is set to VAR (variable), the zoom speed will depend on how you operate the zoom lever: Pressing gently will result in a slower zoom; pressing harder in a faster zoom.

Zoom speed (from wide-angle to telephoto):

C:

Level 1: approx. 60 seconds

VAR: approx. 2.6*–60 seconds

 

Level 16: approx. 2.6* seconds

 

*If the custom function [HIGH-SPEED ZOOM] is set to [ON], the zoom speed will be approx. 1.5 seconds instead. In

mode the zoom speed will be approx. 1.5 seconds, regardless of the custom function setting.

Zoom ring:

The zoom speed depends on how fast you turn the zoom ring.

Zoom buttons on the carrying handle:

The zoom speed itself does not change, but it can be set to one of 16 levels with the ZOOM SPEED dial. This is the same zoom speed setting as when the ZOOM SPEED switch is set to C.

Zoom buttons on the supplied wireless controller:

The zoom speed is constant and cannot be adjusted.
