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)

Rotating the zoom control all the way in

either direction adjusts the zoom quickly.

The zoom can also be operated by moving

the side zoom control (

A2) toward g or

f.
The function of the side zoom control can
be set in the Assign side zoom control in
the setup menu (

A95).

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 toward

g when the camera is

zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom
position.
