Using optical zoom

Use optical zoom to get up to 4X closer to your subject. Optical zoom is effective when the lens is no closer than 29.5 in. (75 cm) from the subject. You can change optical zoom before (but not during) video recording.


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

  2. Pull or push the Zoom button to zoom in (T) and out (W).

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

  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.)
