Using Zoom
Your camera uses a combination of optical and
digital zoom features that let you zoom in on
far-away subjects or zoom out for a wide-angle
shot.
The optical zoom mechanically adjusts the lens
of the camera. The digital zoom uses a software
process.
To use Zoom:
1 Press Power to turn your camera on in
record mode. The power turns on, the lens
extends, and the power indicator LED turns
green.
2 Press the zoom button to compose the photo
on the LCD. When the zoom button is
pressed, the zoom bar appears on the LCD.
Wide-angle (W)–zoom out for a wide-angle
shot.
Telephoto (T)–zoom in for a telephoto shot.
• When the optical zoom is at maximum,
zooming stops temporarily. Press the T
again the camera switches to digital zoom
automatically and zooming continues.
• Digital zoom is not available in movie
recording.
3 Press the shutter button to take the photo.
Using the flash
The flash is for taking photos not only for when
there is insufficient light, but also when the
subject is in shade or in backlight conditions.
Press the flash button to cycle your camera
through the various flash modes. The flash does
not activate when taking continuous photos or
movie recording.
To use the flash:
1 Press Power button to turn your camera on in
record mode. The power turns on, the lens
extends, and the power indicator LED turns
green.

mode. Each time the flash button is pressed,
the flash icon changes.
Auto flash–Flash fires automatically
when shooting conditions require extra

flash, then fires again to take the actual
image. Your camera will detect the
subject brightness and use the flash
only when required.

take a photo, regardless of lighting
conditions.
Slow sync–Flash fires with a slow
shutter speed.
Force off–The flash never fires even in
dark situation.
