When Using a Tripod
•
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.
- When shooting in dim lighting
- When the flash is lowered or when using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire
- When using the telephoto setting
•
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set
Photo VR
to
Off

Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens
position changes.
•
To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward
g
(telephoto)
•
To zoom out and view a larger area: Move
toward
f
(wide-angle)
When you turn the camera on, the zoom
moves to the maximum wide-angle position.
•
The side zoom control (
A

moved toward
g
or
f
to operate the zoom.
•
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the
monitor when the zoom control is moved.
•
Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify
the subject up to approximately 4× the maximum
optical zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the zoom control or the side zoom
control toward
g
when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position.
