When shooting, use the side zoom control (A29) to adjust the
zoom.
When the focus mode is set to E (manual focus), use the side
zoom control to focus (E2).
• Use the side zoom control in the direction of g to focus on
distant subjects.
• Use the side zoom control in the direction of f to focus on
near subjects.
This is convenient when shooting at the telephoto position,
when it is more difficult to keep subjects in focus. Use the side
zoom control in the direction of f to zoom a specific increment
from the current zoom position toward the f side. Use it in the
direction of f again to move the zoom position further toward
f side. Use it in the direction of g to return to the original zoom
position, before the side zoom control was used.
• When using the digital zoom, use the side zoom control in the
direction of f to move to the telephoto end of the optical
zoom.
• If you perform any operation other than the side zoom
control, the zoom is not returned to the zoom position before
the operation.
• Snap-back zoom is not available during movie recording.
