Using the Optical Zoom

With this function, you can make people and
subjects closer, and landscapes can be
captured in wide angle, with the 12 times
optical zoom.

[Preparation]
• Set the mode dial except for [

]. (P25)

1

Aim the camera at the subject and
adjust the size with the zoom lever.

To make subjects closer (Tele):
Rotate towards T.

To make subjects wider (Wide angle):
Rotate towards W.

2

Take a picture.

• The focus is adjusted at a distance of more

than 120 cm (Tele)/30 cm (Wide). For details
on simple mode/aperture-priority AE/
shutter-priority AE/macro mode, read P31/
P45/P46/P47.

• The picture may be slightly distorted

according to the lens. The distortion will
increase as you make subjects wider and
closer.

• The indicated zoom magnification is an

approximation.

• 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.
