Using the Optical Zoom

Use optical zoom to get up to 3X closer to your subject. When you turn on the camera, the lens extends to the Wide Angle position. Optical zoom is effective when the lens is no closer than 24 in. (0.6 m) to the subject. When using optical zoom in Close-up mode, stay at least 11 in. (28 cm) from the subject.


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

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

The lens extends or retracts. The viewfinder or camera screen displays the zoomed image.

  3. Press the Shutter button half-way to set the exposure and focus, then continue pressing completely down to take the picture.

NOTE: The lens retracts when the camera is turned off.
