frame, rotate toward T (telephoto zoom position).
• To zoom out so that tile area visible increases in tile
frame, rotate toward W (wide-angle position).
• Rotating tile zoom control all tile way in either
direction adjusts tile zoom quickly, while rotating tile
control partially adjusts tile zoom slowly (except
during movie recording).
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is rotated.
• The zoom can also be operated by rotating the side
zoom control (_3) toward T or W.
