When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.
- When shooting in dim lighting
- When the flash is lowered or when using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire
- When using the telephoto setting
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off in the setup
menu ( A 72) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens
position changes.
• To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward
g (telephoto)
• To zoom out and view a larger area: Move
toward
f (wide-angle)
When you turn the camera on, the zoom
moves to the maximum wide-angle position.
• The side zoom control (A 1) can also be
moved toward g or f to operate the zoom.
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the
monitor 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.
