Shooting at Preset Focal Lengths (Step Zoom)

You can shoot at preset focal lengths of 24, 28, 35, 50, 85 or 100 mm
(35mm film equivalent). This is convenient when you want to shoot at the
angle of view of those focal lengths.
To change the focal length from 24 to
z
28 mm, turn the [ ] ring counterclockwise
until it clicks. Keep turning the [ ] ring to
increase the focal length, which changes
to 35, 50, 85, and 100 mm at each click.
● Step zoom is not available when shooting movies even if you turn
the [ ] ring.
When you are using digital zoom ( = 40), you cannot adjust the
●
zoom factor by turning the [ ] ring counterclockwise. However,
you can set the focal length to 100 mm by turning it clockwise.
