BASIC RECORDING

While using the viewfinder or LCD monitor, grip the camera
firmly with your right hand while supporting the body with
your left. Keep your elbows at your side and your feet
shoulder-width apart to hold the camera steadily. Take care
not to cover the lens with your fingers or the strap.

HANDLING THE CAMERA

This section covers the basic operation of this camera.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the operations in this
section before moving on to the other sections in the manual.

USING THE ZOOM LENS

The zoom lever controls the lens (1).
Sliding the lever to the right (T) will
zoom in to the telephoto position of
the lens. Sliding the lever to the left
(W) will zoom out to the wide-angle
position.

After zooming, the zoom scale is
displayed briefly. If the digital zoom
is active, the yellow section of the
scale indicates the digital-zoom
range.

Turn on the camera. Set the mode switch to a recording
position.
