Taking Pictures with the Zoom
You can zoom-in to make people and objects appear closer or zoom-out to record
landscapes in wide angle. To make subjects appear even closer (maximum of 46.9k), do
not set the picture size to the highest setting for each aspect ratio (X/Y/W/).
∫Changing the zoom speed
You can operate the zoom at 2speeds
depending on the rotation angle of the zoom
lever.
The zoom speed becomes slower when the
rotation angle is small and the zoom speed
becomes faster when the rotation angle is large.
