Manual focus

(manual focus), use the side zoom control to

• Use the side zoom control in the direction of
g
to focus on distant subjects.

Snap-back zoom
This is convenient when shooting at the telephoto position, when it is more difficult
to keep subjects in focus.
Use the side zoom control in the direction of
f
to zoom a specific increment from
the current zoom position toward the
f
side. Use it in the direction of
f
again to
move the zoom position further toward
f
side. Use it in the direction of
g
to
return to the original zoom position, before the side zoom control was used.
• When using the digital zoom, use the side zoom control in the direction of
f
to
move to the telephoto end of the optical zoom.
• If you perform any operation other than the side zoom control, the zoom is not
returned to the zoom position before the operation.
• Snap-back zoom is not available during movie recording.
