•[PORTRAIT], [SOFT SKIN], [TRANSFORM], [PANORAMA ASSIST], [SPORTS], [PARTY], [SUNSET], [STARRY SKY], [BEACH], [SNOW], [PHOTO FRAME] in Scene Mode

●Zoom ratios are approximate.

●Ranges for focus alignment differ for Scene Modes.

●Max. W: Zoom lever turned as far as possible to W side (no zoom)

Max. T: Zoom lever turned as far as possible to T side (maximum zoom ratio)
