Using Zoom

The zoom lens of this unit allows you to change the focal length from wide-angle, which allows you to record a majestic landscape, to telephoto zoom, which allows you to enlarge a small distant subject. You can also increase the zoom ratio further by changing the setting.

Use the zoom lever to adjust the range of the picture to be taken

••The zoom speed can be set to one of 2 levels using the angle at which the zoom lever is moved.
