Zooming

E
20 optical zoom
Operate the zoom controls from either the side grip, the camera handle or the wireless controller.
The camera's 20 zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each scene:
• Press the zoom control towards W to zoom out to wide-angle.
• Press it towards T to zoom in to telephoto.
You can control the speed of zooming from the side grip:
• Press the control slightly to zoom slowly.
• Press it farther to zoom more quickly. (The farther you press the zoom control, the faster the zoom
speed.)
The T and W buttons on the wireless controller and the camera handle adjust the picture angle, but not the
zoom speed. Set the handle-top zoom control to one of three speeds. Open the camera menu and select
ZOOM HANDLE , then set it to LOW, MEDIUM or FAST. The speed of the zoom control on the
wireless controller cannot be adjusted.
40 /100 digital zoom
Turn the digital zoom on by choosing D.ZOOM from the camera menu, to magnify the camera's zoom
range by up to 5 .
(see p. 34)
The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out between 1 and 40 or
1 and 100 magnification — the camera automatically switches between optical zooming (up to 20 )
and digital zooming (20 to 100 ).
Notes:
• When zooming, as a rule, keep at least one meter between you and your subject. However when the
zoom is at the wide-angle position, you can focus on a subject as close as 3/8 in (1 cm).
• Image resolution decreases the further you zoom towards 100 in digital zoom range.
• When the digital zoom is set to 40 , the zoom indicator extends (light blue).
When the digital zoom is set to 100 zoom, the zoom indicator extends again (a darker blue).
