■ Manual DSC zooming port
Work with the zoom operation with the zoom dial on the right
of the zooming port. The dial is indexed in 0.2x increments.
Use these indexes for reference in making adjustments. The
dial will click at 0.6x, 1x, 1.5x, and 2x magnification.
A click can be enabled or disabled. Hold down and rotate a
hexagon socket screw on the bottom (tool size 4) clockwise
to remove a click of the knob at the switching of the
magnification. Use this if you need to eliminate slight
vibrations resulting from the clicking action.
Limited zoom range
Note that the zoom range may be limited depending on
capture conditions or type of the camera when using a DS
camera made by other manufacturers.
