Zooming
You can operate the zoom from either the side grip or the carrying handle. You can also use the zoom
ring on the zoom lens or the zoom buttons on the wireless controller.
Move the zoom lever toward W to zoom out (wide-angle). Move it toward T to zoom in
(telephoto).
About the Variable Zoom Speeds
Zoom lever on the side grip:
When the ZOOM SPEED switch is set to CONSTANT, the zoom speed itself does not change, but you can
select one of 16 levels of zoom speed with the ZOOM SPEED dial (a number indicating the level will be
displayed next to the zoom indicator).
When the ZOOM SPEED switch is set to VARIABLE, the zoom speed will depend on how you operate the
zoom lever: Pressing softly will result in a slower zoom; pressing harder in a faster zoom.
Zoom speed with the HD 20x L IS Lens (from wide-angle to telephoto):
CONSTANT: Level 1: approx. 60 seconds
Level 16: approx. 3.5 seconds
VARIABLE: approx. 3.5–60 seconds
The actual zoom speed varies depending on the lens.
Zoom ring:
The zoom speed depends on how fast you turn the zoom ring.
Zoom buttons on the carrying handle:
The zoom speed itself does not change, but it can be set to one of 16 levels with the ZOOM SPEED dial.
This is the same zoom speed setting as when the ZOOM SPEED switch is set to CONSTANT.
Zoom buttons on the supplied wireless controller:
The zoom speed is constant and cannot be adjusted.
