Using the Optical Zoom
You can make people and subjects appear 
closer with the 6 times optical zoom, and 
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
∫ To make subjects appear further away 
use (Wide)
∫ To make subjects appear closer use 
(Tele)
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1
k) 
when the camera is turned on.
• The picture may have some distortion 
(typical example: vertical straight line bent 
outwards). This is due to the lens 
aberration, 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.
• When using the zoom lens at high 
magnification, the quality of the picture 
can be enhanced if a tripod is used. At 
high magnification, even small 
movements can cause a slight decrease 
in picture sharpness.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing 
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• When you record motion images, the 
zoom magnification is fixed to the value 
set at the start of recording.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an 
approximation.
• The lens is ejected or retracted according 
to the zoom position.
• Take care not to interrupt the motion of the 
lens while the zoom lever is rotated.
