Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the
zoom lens position changes.
• To zoom in: Move toward g
• To zoom out: Move toward f
When you turn the camera on, the
zoom moves to the maximum wide-
angle position.

either direction adjusts the zoom
quickly (except during movie
recording).
• The zoom can also be operated by
moving the side zoom control (A2)
toward g or f.
• A zoom indicator is displayed on the
shooting screen when the zoom
control is moved.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to
further magnify the subject up to
approximately 4× the maximum optical zoom ratio, can be activated by moving
and holding the zoom control or the side zoom control toward g when the
camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position.

yellow when the zoom magnification is increased further.

Zoom.
• Zoom indicator is yellow: There may be cases in which image quality is noticeably
reduced.
• The indicator remains blue across a wider area when the image size is smaller.
