Taking Pictures with the Zoom

You can zoom-in to make people and objects appear closer or zoom-out to record

landscapes in wide angle. To make subjects appear even closer (maximum of 7.1k), do

not set the picture size to the highest setting for each aspect ratio (X/Y/W).

Even higher levels of magnification are possible when [DIGITAL ZOOM] is set to [ON] in

[REC] menu.

Types of zooms

When using the zoom function, an estimate of the focus range will appear in conjunction
with the zoom display bar. (Example: 0.5 m (1.64 ft.) –)

¢2 The on-screen zoom indication may momentarily stop moving when you rotate the zoom
lever to the extreme Tele position. You can enter the digital zoom range by continuously
rotating the zoom lever to Tele or releasing the zoom lever once and then rotating it to Tele
again.
