This is convenient when you want to shoot at the angle of view of those focal lengths. Assign to the z dial (p. 128). Choose a focal length. z Turn the z dial clockwise until it clicks to change the focal length from 28 mm to 35 mm. Keep turning the z dial to increase the focal length, which changes to 50 mm, 85 mm, 100 mm, and 112 mm at each click. • Step zoom is not available when shooting movies even if you turn the z dial. • When using the digital zoom (p. 51), turning the z dial clockwise will not change the zoom factor.
