Tips
• It is easier to focus on the subject by moving the
power zoom lever towards T (telephoto) to
adjust the focus, then towards W (wide angle) to
adjust the zoom for recording. When you want
to record a subject at close range, move the
power zoom lever to W (wide angle), then
adjust the focus.
• The focal distance information (the distance at
which the subject is focused on, for when it is
dark and hard to adjust focus) appears for a few
seconds in the following cases. (It will not be
displayed correctly if you are using a conversion
lens (optional).)
- When the focus mode is switched from
automatic to manual.
- When you set focus manually.

TELE MACRO
:EJJ
This is useful to record small subjects, such
as flowers or insects. You can blur out
backgrounds and the subject stands out
clearer.
When you set [TELE MACRO] to [ON]
(TI),
the zoom (p. 40) moves to the top of
the T (telephoto) side automatically and
allows recording subjects at a close
distance.
