Using the zoom lens
This camera is equipped with a unique 5.7 - 17.1mm zoom lens. This is equivalent to a 37 to 111mm
lens on a 35mm camera. The lens is controlled by the zoom lever at the back of the 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 telephoto and makes distant objects
appear closer. The effect of the optical zoom is visible in both the viewfinder and LCD monitor.
To zoom in on the subject, push the
zoom lever up.
To zoom out, push the zoom lever
down.
The digital-zoom function can double
the power of the lens. The digital zoom
is activated in the custom section of the
recording-mode menu (p. 28).
