Using the Optical Zoom
You can make people and subjects appear
closer with the 12 times optical zoom, and
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
∫To make subjects appear further away
use (Wide)
∫To make subjects appear closer use
(Tele)
•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.
•When you record motion images, the
zoom magnification is fixed to the value
set at the start of recording.
•The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
•The lens is ejected or retracted according
to the zoom position.
•Take care not to interrupt the motion of the
lens while the zoom lever is rotated.
•When you rotate the zoom lever, you may
hear some sound from the camera or the
camera may be shaken. However, it is not
a malfunction.
