Using 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 ft (0.6 m) from the subject. (See Tips for better pictures on Tips for better pictures.) You can change optical zoom before (but not during) video recording. IMPORTANT: Place the camera on a sturdy surface or tripod when you take high-zoom pictures.


  1. Use the EVF or LCD screen to frame your subject.

  2. Push the Zoom button toward Telephoto (T) to zoom in. Push it toward Wide Angle (W) to zoom out.

The EVF or LCD screen displays the zoomed image and the zoom indicator.

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