Approximate zoom ratio

The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action.

NOTES:

Zooming is possible up to 8X regardless of the ZOOM setting in the still image recording mode.

Focusing may become unstable during zooming. In this case, set the zoom before recording and lock the focus by using the manual focus

( pg. 33), then zoom in or out during recording.

Macro shooting is possible as close as approx.

5 cm (2") to the subject when the zoom lever is set all the way to W.

When you zoom into a subject close to the lens, the camera may automatically zoom out depending on the distance to the subject. In this case, set [TELE MACRO] to [ON]. ( pg. 50)
