Using the Optical Zoom

Use Optical Zoom to get up to 10X closer to your subject. Optical zoom is effective when the lens is no closer than 2.2 ft (.67 m) from the subject. When you turn on the camera, the lens extends to the Wide Angle position. The lens retracts when you turn off the camera.


  1. Push the Zoom button toward T (Telephoto) to zoom in. Push toward W (Wide Angle) to zoom out. To zoom more quickly, push further.

The EVF or LCD screen displays the zoomed image and the zoom indicator. The zoom indicator disappears 5 seconds after you stop zooming.

  2. Press the Shutter button half-way and hold to set the exposure and focus, then press the rest of the way down to take the picture.
