Using the Optical Zoom
You can make people and subjects appear 
closer with the 3 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 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.
