Using a Zoom Lens
Use the zoom ring to zoom in on the subject
so that it fills a larger area of the frame, or
zoom out to increase the area visible in the
final photograph (select longer focal lengths
on the lens focal length scale to zoom in,
shorter focal lengths to zoom out). If the lens
is equipped with a retractable lens barrel
button (0 17), press and hold the button
while rotating the zoom ring until the lens is
released and the message shown at right is
no longer displayed, and then adjust zoom
using the zoom ring.
