Using the Optical Zoom
You can make people and subjects appear
closer with the 3 times optical zoom, and
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
∫
To make subjects appear closer use
(Tele)
When the picture size setting is [
] (6M).
∫
To make subjects appear further away
use (Wide)
When the picture size setting is [
] (6M).
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1
k
)
when the camera is turned on.
• The picture may have some distortion
(typical example: vertical straight line bent
outwards). This is due to the lens
aberration, which is common to some
extent with all photographic lenses.
Distortion may be more visible when using
a wider area of the zoom lens as you get
closer to the subject.
• When using the zoom lens at high
magnification, the quality of the picture
can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At
high magnification, even small
movements can cause a slight decrease
in picture sharpness.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• In motion picture mode [
], the zoom
magnification is fixed to the value set at
the start of recording.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• The lens barrel (P11) is ejected or
retracted according to the zoom position.
• Take care not to interrupt the motion of the
lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
∫
Taking pictures using the extended
optical zoom (EZ)
If the picture size is set to [
] (3M EZ)
etc., the zoom ratio is extended to a
maximum of 4.1
k
when the digital zoom is
set to [OFF]. This allows subjects to be
recorded at an even higher magnification.
(P71)
∫
Taking pictures using digital zoom
When you set [D.ZOOM] in the [REC] mode
menu to [ON], you can use the digital zoom
to take even closer pictures. (P75)
