BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

NOTES

Changing the optical zoom factor also affects the lens aperture value.

The lens aperture value indicated on the camera is the aperture when optical zoom is 1X. Using a higher opti- cal zoom setting results in a higher aperture value (smaller aperture).

Use of a tripod is recommended for telephoto shots to avoid blurring of the image due to camera movement.
