You can operate the zoom at 2 speeds

rotation angle is small and the zoom speed 
becomes faster when the rotation angle is 
large.

∫ Storing the zoom position 

If [ZOOM RESUME] (P23) in the [SETUP] 
menu is set to [ON], the zoom position is 
stored when this unit is turned off. When 
this unit is turned on again, the zoom 
position automatically returns to the 
position it was at when this unit was turned 
off.
• The focus position is not stored.

• 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.

• When you rotate the zoom lever, you may 

hear some sound from the camera or the 
camera may be shaken. This is not a 
malfunction.
