∫Storing the zoom position (Zoom resume)

If [ZOOM RESUME] (P23) in the [SETUP] menu is set to [ON], the zoom position is stored when this unit is turned off. When this unit is turned on again, the zoom position automatically returns to the position it was at when this unit was turned off.

•The focus position is not stored.

•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.

•When you rotate the zoom lever, you may hear some sound from the camera or the camera may be shaken. This is not a malfunction.
