Using The Zoom Lens; Focus Range - Minolta DiMAGE F200 Instruction Manual

Using the zoom lens

This camera is equipped with a 7.8 to 23.4mm optical zoom. This is equivalent to a 38 to 114mm
zoom lens on a 35mm camera. In 35mm photography, focal lengths below 50mm are referred to as
wide-angle; the angle of view is larger than that of the human eye. Above 50mm is referred to as tele-
photo and makes distant objects appear closer. The effect of the optical zoom is visible in both the
viewfinder and LCD monitor.
