Recording pictures (basic)
39
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1×) when
the camera is turned on.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• The lens barrel (P10) is ejected or
retracted according to the zoom position.
• Take care not to obstruct the motion of
the lens while the zoom lever is rotated.
• When you record motion pictures [i],
the zoom magnification is fixed to the
value set at the start of recording.
• The picture may have some distortion
(typical example: vertical straight line bent
outwards). This is due to
aberratio
ns, which is common to some
extent with all photographic lenses.
Distortion may be more visible when
using a wider area of the zoom lens as
you get closer to the subject.
• The zoom rate is a guide only.
