Step 5—Compose a photograph
Frame your subject in the viewfinder or the color LCD monitor. Press the zoom-in switch (T/▲) to magnify the subject so that only a portion of it fills the frame, or use the zoom-out switch (W/▼) to expand the field-of- view so that more of the subject is visible. While the zoom switch is pressed, an indicator showing the amount of zoom is displayed in the color LCD monitor.

Note: Wait a moment for the camera to focus after zooming in or out.
At maximum zoom, the subject can be further magnified by holding the zoom-in switch down for two seconds. If the LCD monitor is on, the camera will enter digital-zoommode, magnifying the subject digitally by two times. While the camera is in digital-zoom mode, the zoom indicator and AF lamp will blink.
Note: The viewfinder is equipped with optical zoom linked to the lens. The viewfinder does not however show images framed in digital-zoom mode at the actual zoom ratio. Use the monitor when taking photographs with digital zoom.
