Zoom
The camera employs an 10 optical zoom lens
combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to
zoom up to 40 .

(F1.8 to F2.1)
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 70
degrees (wide end) to 8 degrees (tele end).
Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by
expanding each image in both the vertical and
horizontal directions. When 4 digital zoom is used,
the number of effective picture elements in each
1
direction reduces to / and the overall resolution
4
deteriorates.
You can activate the zoom in the following two ways:
• By pressing the T (tele) or W (wide) buttons on the
Remote Commander.
• Using a VISCA Command
Using Standard Mode
Using Variable Mode
There are eight levels of zoom speed.
