Set the FOCUS switch to
AUTO/ZOOM.

The factory setting is AUTO/ZOOM.

The ZOOM button can also be used. The zoom

lightly, and quickly when the button is pressed
deeply.

LENS] is set to [ON] in the SET UP settings
(page 110).

Minimum focal distance to the
subject

When the zoom is set all the way to
the W side:

Approx. 50 cm (19 3/4 inches) from the lens
surface

When the zoom is set all the way to
the T side:

Approx. 90 cm (35 1/2 inches) from the lens
surface

Digital zoom

When zoom exceeds 5×, the image is
enlarged by digital processing. The
maximum digital zoom magnification is
10×. Digital zooming causes the image
quality to deteriorate, so when digital zoom
is not necessary, set [DIGITAL ZOOM] to
[OFF] in the SET UP settings (page 110).

During digital zoom, the AF frame does not
appear on the screen.

Digital zoom does not work for movies.
