Shooting at Preset Focal Lengths (Step
Zoom)
You can shoot at preset focal lengths of 24, 28, 35, 50, 85, 100 or 120 mm
(35mm film equivalent). This is convenient when you want to shoot at the
angle of view of those focal lengths.
z z
To change the focal length from
24 to 28 mm, turn the <
> ring
counterclockwise until it clicks. Keep
turning the <
> ring to increase the focal
length, which changes to 35, 50, 85, 100,
and 120 mm at each click.
•
Step zoom is not available when shooting movies even if you turn
the <
> ring.
• When you are using digital zoom ( = 38 ), you cannot adjust the zoom factor
by turning the < > ring counterclockwise. However, you can set the focal
length to 120 mm by turning it clockwise.
