Taking Pictures with the Zoom

Using the Optical Zoom

You can make people and subjects appear closer with the 3.6k (DMC-FX07)/

3k (DMC-FX3) optical zoom and landscapes can be recorded in wide angle. (35 mm film camera equivalent: 28 mm to

102mm) (DMC-FX07)/(35 mm film camera equivalent: 35 mm to 105 mm) (DMC-FX3)

•The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k) when the camera is turned on.

•Depending on the zoom magnification, the picture may have some distortion. Distortion will be more visible when using

a wider area of the zoom lens as you move closer to the subject.

•Depending on the zoom magnification, the picture may have some colored fringes around the subject. This is called chromatic aberration and may be more visible when recording distant subjects.

•If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

•The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.

•The lens barrel (P10) extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care not to interrupt the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.

•In motion picture mode [ ], the zoom magnification is fixed to the value set at the start of recording.

Using the Extended Optical Zoom (EZ)

This camera has a 3.6k (DMC-FX07)/

3k (DMC-FX3) optical zoom. However, if the picture size is not set to the highest

setting for each aspect ratio [ / /

], a maximum of 5.5k (DMC-FX07)/ 4.1k (DMC-FX3) optical zoom can be achieved with no picture quality deterioration.
