Recording pictures (basic)

• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1×) when 
the camera is turned on.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing 
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• The lens barrel (P10) is ejected or 
retracted according to the zoom position.
• Take care not to interrupt the motion of 
the lens while the zoom lever is rotated.
• When you record motion pictures [i], 
the zoom magnification is fixed to the 
value set at the start of recording.
• The picture may have some distortion 
(typical example: vertical straight line bent 
outwards). This is due to the lens 
aberration, which is common to some 
extent with all photographic lenses. 
Distortion may be more visible when 
using a wider area of the zoom lens as 
you get closer to the subject.
• The zoom rate is a guide only.
