Taking Pictures with the Zoom

Conversion in [
¿
] mode.]
∫
Optical Zoom
You can zoom-out to record landscapes etc. in wide angle (Wide) or zoom-in to make
people and objects appear closer (Tele) by rotating the zoom ring.
• The interchangeable lens (H-PS14042) does not support the zoom ring function.
• With the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042), you can perform zoom operations by moving the
zoom lever instead of the zoom ring.

[MOTION PICTURE] menu to [ON].
• When the [EX. TELE CONV.] ([REC] menu) is used, set the picture size to [M] or [S] (picture

1 When a picture size of [S] (4 M), aspect ratio of [
X
] is selected.
The magnification level differs depending on [PICTURE SIZE] and [ASPECT RATIO] setting.

When [F
SH] is selected, there will be no enlarging with the Extra Tele Conversion (1

Note
• When the Extra Tele Conversion is used, angle of view for still pictures will be different from the
angle of view for motion pictures because the zoom factor is different between them. Angle of
view for recording can be checked beforehand by matching the [
REC AREA]
setting
to the mode you wish to record in.

for taking
pictures.
