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.
• 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.

Digital Zoom and Interpolation
While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to
interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position.
The Shutter-release Button
Press halfway
To set focus and exposure (shutter speed and aperture value),
press the shutter-release button lightly (halfway) until you feel a
slight resistance. Focus and exposure remain locked while the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
Press all the way
Press the shutter-release button all the way to release the shutter
and take an image.
Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as this
may result in camera shake and blurred images. Press the button
gently.
