You can choose whether to shoot your movies with sound or without sound.
• To prevent the sound of the zoom operating being recorded, the specifications for this
camera are such that zooming is disabled when a movie with sound is being shot.
Compose the shot with the zoom before you start shooting or use the digital zoom
( p.3-3). To use the digital zoom, zoom in fully with the optical zoom before taking the
picture. If the movie is shot without sound, the optical zoom can be used during shooting.
