be achieved.
Aperture and Zoom
The maximum and minimum values for aperture are the maximum and mini-
mum values for the camera lens, adjusted for the current zoom setting. Higher
f/-numbers (smaller apertures) can be achieved by zooming the camera in,
lower f/-numbers (larger apertures) by zooming the camera out. Unless On is
chosen for Fixed Aperture in the Zoom Options sub-menu (
ture will change as the camera is zoomed in or out. If, for example, you
choose the second-highest aperture setting with the camera zoomed all the
way out, the camera will vary the f/-number to maintain aperture at the sec-
ond-highest setting for the current zoom position as you zoom the camera in.
