RECORDING MODE
BASIC RECORDING OPERATION
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock
the focus and exposure.
• The focus signals (p. 25) on the monitor will confirm the focus. If
the focus signal is red, the camera was unable to focus on the
subject. Repeat the previous steps until the signal is white.
• When the focus is set, an AF sensor will briefly appear on the
live image to indicate the point of focus.
• The shutter speed and aperture value will change from white to
black indicating the exposure is locked.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to take
the picture.
• The access lamp will glow indicating image data is being
written to the CompactFlash card. Never remove a
CompactFlash card while data is being transferred.
With the mode dial set to auto recording, the camera will be on and
the LCD monitor will activate.

ZOOM LENS AND DIGITAL ZOOM
This camera is equipped with a 7.15 to 28.6mm optical zoom. This is equivalent to a 35
to 140mm zoom lens on a 35mm camera. In 35mm photography, focal lengths below
50mm are referred to as wide-angle; the angle of view is larger than that of the human
eye. Above 50mm is referred to as telephoto and makes distant objects appear closer.
The effect of the optical zoom is visible in both the viewfinder and LCD monitor.
Assisting the optical zoom is a 2.2X digital zoom. The effect of the digital zoom doubles
the power of the telephoto position of the optical zoom giving the equivalent of a
308mm lens on a 35mm camera. The effect of the digital zoom is visible on the LCD
monitor only. This digital-zoom function is canceled if the LCD monitor is turned off (p.
37). The digital zoom can be disabled in the auto-recording menu (p. 38). In the multi-
function recording mode, the zoom can be disabled in the custom 1 section of the
multi-function recording mode menu (p. 50).
At the maximum telephoto position,
pressing the up key (T) will activate
the digital zoom.
• X2.2 will be displayed in the top right
corner of the monitor.
• To cancel the digital zoom, press the
down key.
The zoom lens is operated by the
controller. Pressing the up key (T)
will zoom in to the telephoto position
of the lens. Pressing the down key
(W) will zoom out to the wide-angle
position.
Controller
Place the subject within the focus frame.
• The focus-lock function (p. 24) can be used with off-center
subjects.
• Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the
lens: 0.5m -
∞
(wide-angle position), 0.9m -
∞
(telephoto
position. For subjects closer than 0.6m, use the macro
function (p. 28).
• If the subject is closer than 1m at the wide-angle lens
position or 3m at the telephoto lens position, use the LCD
monitor to frame the subject (p. 12).
