Easily Reacquiring Subjects after Manual
Zooming (Framing Assist – Seek)
Still Images Movies
If you lose track of a subject while zoomed in, you can find it more easily
by temporarily zooming out.
1
Look for the lost subject.
z Press and hold the [ ] button.
z The camera zooms out and displays
a white frame around the area shown
before you pressed the [ ] button.
2
Reacquire the subject.
z Aim the camera so that the subject enters
the white frame, and then release the
[ ] button.
z The previous magnification is now
restored, so that the area within the white
frame fills the screen again.
● Some shooting information is not displayed while the camera is
zoomed out.
● During movie shooting, the white frame is not displayed if you
press the [
] button. Also note that a changed zoom factor and
camera operating sounds are recorded.
● To deactivate digital zoom, choose MENU (= 31) ► [ 2] tab
► [Digital Zoom] ► [Off].
Shooting at Preset Focal Lengths (Step Zoom)
Still Images Movies

equivalent).
z Turn the [ ] dial clockwise until it
clicks to change the focal length from
24 mm to 28 mm. Turn the [ ] dial
clockwise to zoom in or counterclockwise
to zoom out.
● Step zoom is not available when shooting movies even if you turn
the [
] dial.

clockwise will not change the zoom factor. However, turning the
[
] dial counterclockwise will set the focal length to 600 mm.
