•The zoom-head position is automatically adjusted within the range of 24mm, 28mm, 35mm to 105mm in increments of 5mm between 35mm and 105mm when the power zoom function is activated.

•When the lens focal length is not one of those indicated above, the zoom head adjusts to the closest wideangle setting of the lens in use. For example, if the zoom setting of a CPU lens is between 36mm and 39mm, the zoom-head position is adjusted to 35mm.

•If a small M does not appear above the “ZOOM” indication on the LCD panel, the zoom- head position will be automatically adjusted. If a small M appears, press the c or d button several times until it disappears.
