Ste5p USING THE ZOOM LENS Turning the zoom ring to the right makes the subject appear larger (telephoto) and turning it to the left makes the subject appear smaller (wide angle).

Conversely, the larger the number, the more magnified the image appears. • The Image Size Tracking Mode, Zoom Clip Mode, Auto Zoom Effect Mode and Power Zoom function do not operate with this camera even if an FA lens is attached.

Sudden force on the shutter release button will cause camera shake, making the picture blurred. Camera held horizontally Camera held vertically .a6 MEMO • To reduce camera shake, support your body or the camera on a solid object - a table, tree, or a wall for instance. • When using an telephoto lens, a tripod that is heavier than the total weight of the camera and lens is recommended to avoid camera shake. • Although there are individual differences among photographers, in general the shutter speed for a hand held camera is the inverse of the focal length. For example, 1/50 of second for focal length is 50mm, and 1/100 of second for it is 100mm. A tripod should be used for shutter speeds slower than this. ----zzvmmecw C.:
