Camera Setup
Controlling Zoom: Zoom Options
The zoom-options sub-menu contains settings for
optical and digital zoom.
Digital Tele
This sub-menu is used to turn digital zoom on and
off. If On is selected, the camera enters digital
zoom mode when the
button is held down for
more than two seconds at the maximum optical
zoom position (digital zoom does not take effect
if monitor is off). If Off selected, pressing the
button at the maximum optical zoom position has
no effect (digital zoom can still be used while re-
cording movies;
111).
Fixed Aperture
Normally, aperture changes with the zoom posi-
tion. If desired, you can set the camera to main-
tain the f/-number selected in aperture-priority or
manual exposure modes as you zoom in or out.
Option Description
Off Aperture changes as you zoom in or out.
On
In aperture-priority and manual exposure modes, aperture
is fixed at selected f/-number as camera is zoomed in or
out. Note that the selected f/-number may exceed the
camera’s exposure range at the new zoom position; to
prevent this, choose an f/-number from about f/5 to
around f/8.
