You can set the zoom operation to allow easy visualization of the angle of view (picture 

angle) for the focal length of a regular fixed focal length lens (as with a 35 mm film 

camera). When using the Step Zoom, you can operate the zoom ratio as easily as 

changing the camera lens.

 •If recording in [Intelligent Auto] Mode, you can adjust the [Step Zoom] with the control 

ring/control dial. 

If the setting assigned to the control ring/control dial is [Step Zoom], [Step Zoom] will 

also be available for use in other modes. 

(In [Program AE] Mode, the control ring is assigned to [Step Zoom].)
