• Use the side zoom control in the direction of T to focus on distant subjects.

Snap-backzoom
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 W to zoom a specific increment from
the current zoom position toward the W side. Use it in the direction of W again to
move the zoom position further toward W side. Use it in the direction of T 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 W 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.
