When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting
- When shooting with the flash mode (
A48) set to W (off)
- When using the telephoto setting
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off in the setup
menu ( A77) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens position
changes.
• To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward
g (telephoto).
• To zoom out and view a larger area: Move toward
f (wide-angle).
When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the
maximum wide-angle position.
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is moved.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the
subject up to approximately 4× the maximum optical
zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the
zoom control toward
g when the camera is zoomed in to
the maximum optical zoom position.
