Application (Record)
●
If you are not holding the camera while using zoom, such as during self-timer
recording (→106), [Time Lapse Shot] recording (→150), or remote recording (→203), the
camera could tilt when the lens barrel extends, so be sure to secure the camera in
place on a tripod or by other means.
●
Do not touch the lens barrel during zooming.
●
Adjust the focus after adjusting the zoom.
●
The zoom ratio and the zoom bar displayed on the screen are estimates.
●
The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated -
