BASIC OPERATION
25
This camera is equipped with a 7.8 to 23.4mm optical zoom. This is equivalent to a 38 to
114mm zoom lens on a 35mm camera. In 35mm photography, focal lengths below 50mm
are referred to as wide-angle; the angle of view is larger than that of the human eye.
Above 50mm is referred to as telephoto and makes distant objects appear closer. The
effect of the optical zoom is visible in both the viewfinder and LCD monitor.
Using the zoom lens
The zoom lever controls the
lens (1). Turning the lever to
the right (T) will zoom in to
the telephoto position of the
lens. Turning the lever to
the left (W) will zoom out to
the wide-angle position.

The auto-recording mode uses advanced technology to make photography as effortless
as possible. Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection optimizes exposure, color, and
image-processing settings for each subject. The sophisticated AF system locates and
tracks the subject automatically.
Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection - The icons at the top of the LCD monitor
display indicate the Digital Subject Program in use. When taking pictures, the icon for the
active subject program will remain. If no icons are displayed, programmed AE is
employed. For more on Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection, see page 28.
Area AF & Subject Tracking AF - Area AF locates the subject
within the extra large focus frames. An AF sensor will be displayed
when the camera locates and focuses on the subject. Subject
Tracking AF will continue to follow the subject in the focus frames
whether the subject moves or the camera position is changed.
