•The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k) when the camera is turned on.
•The picture may have some distortion (typical example: vertical straight line bent outwards). This is due to the lens aberration, which is common to some extent with all photographic lenses. Distortion may be more visible when using a wider area of the zoom lens as you get closer to the subject.
•When using the zoom lens at high magnification, the quality of the picture can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At high magnification, even small movements can cause a slight decrease in picture sharpness.
•If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
•In motion image mode [
], the zoom magnification is fixed to the value set at
the start of recording.
•The lens barrel (P10) is ejected or retracted according to the zoom position.
•Take care not to interrupt the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
•If you wish to make subjects appear even closer, use the digital zoom. Select [ON] for [D.ZOOM] in the [REC] mode menu for using the digital zoom. (P69)
