The zoom speed depends on how fast you turn the zoom
ring.

2 Turn the zoom ring to zoom.
• The zoom ratio is determined by the position of the
zoom ring.
NOTES NOTES
• When you change the ZOOM switch's position from
ROCKER to RING, the camera will zoom automatically to
the focal length indicated by the current position of the
zoom ring.
• You can operate the zoom ring even when the camera's controls are locked (A 15).

Using the Zoom Rockers

also use the RC-V100 Remote Controller or a commercially available remote control connected to the REMOTE
terminal.

the menu. With the [User Setting] you can even customize a
zoom speed pattern depending on how much you press on
the zoom rocker (A 70).

(wide-angle) and toward S to zoom in (telephoto).
