AUsing a Zoom Lens

Use the zoom ring to zoom in on the subject so that it fills a larger area of the frame, or zoom out to increase the area visible in the final photo- graph (select longer focal lengths on the lens focal length scale to zoom in, shorter focal lengths to zoom out).

If you are using an optional lens with a power drive zoom switch, select T to zoom in and W to zoom out. The speed with which the cam- era zooms in and out varies with how far you slide the switch. The zoom position is shown by the zoom guide in the display.

AFace Priority

The camera detects and focuses on portrait subjects (face priority). A double yellow bor- der will be displayed if a portrait subject is detected facing the camera (if multiple faces, up to a maximum of five, are detected, the camera will select the closest subject). Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus

on the subject in the double yellow border. The border will clear from the display if the camera can no longer detect the subject (because, for example, the subject has looked away).
