The Basics of Shooting and Playback

B Easy Auto Mode

Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this case, select another shooting mode (A 34, 35, 44, and 48).

When the digital zoom is in effect, the scene mode changes to U.

C When Using a Tripod

We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:

-When shooting in dimly lit conditions with the flash mode (A 53) set to W(off)

-When zooming in on the subject

Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A 88) when using a tripod.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.

Zoom out Zoom in

To zoom in closer to the subject, rotate the zoom control to g(telephoto).

To zoom out and view a larger area, rotate the zoom control to f(wide-angle).

When you turn the camera on, the zoom

moves to the maximum wide-angle position.

The side zoom control (A 2) can also be turned toward gor f to operate the zoom.
