Using the Zoom Function
Your camera has a combination of optical and digital zoom
functions that allow you to zoom in on far away subjects or
zoom out for a wide angle shot.
The optical zoom is achieved by mechanically adjusting the
lens of the camera. The digital zoom enlarges or shrinks the
image using a software process.
When the zoom lever is pressed, the zoom bar appears on the
LCD monitor.
Press [W] to zoom out for a
wide-angle shot.
Press [T] to zoom in for a telephoto
shot.
NOTE:
yMake sure that your fingers or the wrist strap does not block the lens.
yWhen the shutter release button is pressed halfway down, check the exposure value that
appears on the LCD monitor to make sure that it is appropriate for the lighting conditions.
