Using optical zoom

Use optical zoom to get up to 3X closer to your subject. Optical zoom is effective when the lens is no closer than 23.6 in. (60 cm) to the subject or 5.1 in. (13 cm) in Close-up mode. You can change optical zoom before (but not during) video recording.


  1. Use the viewfinder or camera screen to frame your subject.

  2. Press Telephoto (T) to zoom in. Press Wide Angle (W) to zoom out.

If the camera screen is turned on, the zoom indicator shows when you are in optical or digital zoom.

  3. Press the Shutter button halfway and hold to set the exposure and focus, then press the rest of the way down to take the picture. (When taking videos, press and release the Shutter button.)
