A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures of
close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more coloring appearing
around the outlines of objects.
●
The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated –
this is not a fault.
●
When Extended Optical Zoom is used, zooming momentarily stops partway, but this is
or less
not a malfunction.
