Recording a picture

Using the zoom feature

Push ZOOM up or down slightly for a slower zoom. Push it firmly for a faster zoom. Using the zoom function sparingly results in better-looking recordings.

“T” side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)

Note

During optical-zooming or when the zoom position is set to the “W”-end side, the SteadyShot function does not work.

When you shoot close to a subject

If you cannot get a sharp focus, push ZOOM toward the “W” side until the focus is sharp. You can shoot a subject that is at least about 80 cm (about 2 feet 5/8 inch) away from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or about 1 cm (about 1/2 inch) away in the wide-angle position.
