USING THE ZOOM LENS

This camera is equipped with a 8 - 24mm zoom lens. This is equivalent to a 39 to 117mm

lens on a 35mm camera. The lens is operated by the zoom buttons on the back of the

camera. The effect of the optical zoom is visible in both the viewfinder and LCD monitor.

To zoom in on the subject, push

the tele zoom button.

To zoom out, push the wide

zoom button.

The digital-zoom function can

increase the power of the lens.

The digital zoom is activated in

the recording menu (p. 43).

If the shutter speed is below the point where the camera can be hand

held safely, the red viewfinder indicator lamp blinks to warn of

camera-shake. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle

hand motion and is more pronounced at the lens’ telephoto position

than at the wide-angle position. Although the warning appears, the

shutter can be released. If the warning appears, place the camera on

a tripod or use the flash. Warning is not used with manual exposure.

CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING

Because the optical viewfinder and the lens are slightly separated, the image seen through one is

not exactly the same as the other; this is called parallax. Parallax can cause errors in framing when

using the viewfinder at close distances. When the subject is closer than 1m (3ft) at the lens’ wide-

angle position or 3m (9.8ft) at the telephoto position, use the monitor to compose the image.
