The zoom speed is slower than normal.

To fix the focus setting, set ‘CONTINUOUS AF’ to ‘OFF’.
Extended optical zoom and ROTATE DISP. for pictures taken vertically are not
available.

Microphone
This enables recording of (monaural) audio motion pictures. (Recording with muted
sound is not possible.) Zoom can also be used during recording. If the motion picture is
recorded on a memory card, one that is marked as ‘10 MB/s’ or faster on the package is
recommended.
For the operating procedures for the DMC-ZS3, see P.61.
