• The focal length range of any lens will be reduced slightly when you use
wide-view mode. Although the lens will zoom to its shortest focal length
while wide-view is activated, the view inside the film-frame marks will never
be wider than 1.5 times this shortest setting, and the lens will only zoom to
2/3 its longest focal length.
For example, with a 28-105mm lens and the camera in wide-view mode,
when the lens is set at 28mm, the view inside the film-frame indicators will
be the same as a setting of 42mm. When you press the shutter-release button
partway down, the lens will then zoom to 42mm. If you zoom the lens in the
tele photo direction while still in wide-view mode, the lens will stop at 70mm,
but the image inside the film-frame indicators will show the view at 105mm.
The lens will then zoom to 105mm when you press the shutter-release button
partway down.
