Using the Optical Zoom
You can make people and subjects appear
closer with the 6 times optical zoom, and
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
To make subjects appear further away
use (Wide)
To make subjects appear closer use
(Tele)
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1
k
)
when the camera is turned on.
• The picture may have some distortion
(typical example: vertical straight line bent
outwards). This is due to the lens
aberration, which is common to some
extent with all photographic lenses.
Distortion may be more visible when using
a wider area of the zoom lens as you get
closer to the subject.
• When using the zoom lens at high
magnification, the quality of the picture
can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At
high magnification, even small
movements can cause a slight decrease
in picture sharpness.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• When you record motion images, the
zoom magnification is fixed to the value
set at the start of recording.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• The lens is ejected or retracted according
to the zoom position.
• Take care not to interrupt the motion of the
lens while the zoom lever is rotated.
