Shooting Range and Focusing

Shooting at Preset Focal Lengths (Step Zoom)
You can shoot at preset focal lengths of 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm, 100
mm or 112 mm (35mm film equivalents). This is convenient when you want
to shoot at the angle of view of those focal lengths.
• Step zoom is not available when shooting movies even if you turn the
z dial.
When using the digital zoom (p. 51), turning the z dial clockwise will not
•
change the zoom factor. However, turning the z dial counterclockwise will set
the focal length to 112 mm.
Shooting Close-ups (Macro)
To restrict the focus to subjects at close range, set the camera to e. For
details on the focusing range, see "Specifications" in the Getting Started
guide.
