When you shoot a subject using a telephoto zoom
If you carmot get a sharp focus while in extreme telephoto zoom, move the power zoom
lever to the "W" side until the focus is sharp.
You can shoot a subject that is at least about 2 5/8 feet (about 80 cm) away from the lens
surface in the telephoto position, or about 1/2 inch (about 1 cm) in the wide-angle
position.
Notes on digital zoom
• More than 15x zoom is performed digitally, and the picture quality deteriorates as
you go toward the " T " side. If you do not want to use the digital zoom, set D ZOOM
to OFF in the menu system.
• The right side [a] of the power zoom indicator shows the digital zooming zone, and
the left side [b] shows the optical zooming zone. If you set D ZOOM to OFF, the right
[a] zone disappears.
