• Move the zoom control or the side zoom control to change the zoom lens position.

• If you lose sight of the subject while shooting with the lens in telephoto position,

press the q (snap-back zoom) button to temporarily widen the visible area so that

you can frame the subject more easily.

halfway.

• To press the shutter-release button “halfway”

means to press and hold the button at the

point where you feel a slight resistance.

• When the subject is in focus, the focus area or

focus indicator is displayed in green.

focuses in the center of the frame and the

focus area is not displayed.

camera is unable to focus. Modify the

composition and try pressing the shutter-

release button halfway again.

shutter-release button all the way

down.
