mera Operations
Adjusting the Lens
The lens can be gently rotated up to 180 ° forward from
the storage position (0 °) or 90 ° back to face the user
for a quick arms-length self-portrait. When the lens is
rotated to face the user, the monitor shows a mirror im-
age of what will appear in the fi nal photograph.
Using a Tripod
Rotate the lens to shooting position before mounting the
camera on a tripod. Contact with the tripod can damage the
camera lens.
Zoom
The zoom control is used to frame subjects in the mon-
itor. Select W to zoom out, increasing the area visible in
the frame. Select T to zoom in up to 10 × so that the
subject fi lls a larger area of the frame. The amount of
zoom is displayed in the monitor.
Digital Zoom
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of detail visible in the picture.
Instead, details visible at 10 × zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.
