You can make people and subjects appear 
closer with the 3.6

k (DMC-FX07)/

3

k (DMC-FX3) optical zoom and 

landscapes can be recorded in wide angle. 
(35 mm film camera equivalent: 28 mm to 
102 mm) (DMC-FX07)/(35 mm film camera 
equivalent: 35 mm to 105 mm) (DMC-FX3)

∫ To make subjects appear closer use 

• When the setting for picture size is 

[

] (7M). (DMC-FX07)

∫ To make subjects appear further away 

• When the setting for picture size is 

[

] (7M). (DMC-FX07)

• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1

k) 

when the camera is turned on.

• Depending on the zoom magnification, the 

picture may have some distortion. 
Distortion will be more visible when using 

a wider area of the zoom lens as you 
move closer to the subject.

• Depending on the zoom magnification, the 

picture may have some colored fringes 
around the subject. This is called 
chromatic aberration and may be more 
visible when recording distant subjects.

• If you use the zoom function after focusing 

on the subject, focus on the subject again.

• The indicated zoom magnification is an 

approximation.

• The lens barrel (P10) extends or retracts 

according to the zoom position. Take care 
not to interrupt the motion of the lens 
barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.

• In motion picture mode [

], the zoom 

magnification is fixed to the value set at 
the start of recording.
