ZOOMING
Power Zooming
Look through the viewfinder and
push the zooming switch upward (T)
for telephoto or downward (W) for
wideangle until the picture includes
as much or as little as you wish. A
white line opposite the 9 position
scale on the zoom ring indicates the
set focal length. Zooming stops auto¬
matically after the completion of the
zooming cycle.
Power zooming is available at two
different speeds for even and jerk-
free tracking shots. The power zoom
speed control offers a selection of
fast (F) and slow (S) settings. Turn
the knob to the desired speed as
indicated opposite the white line.
The
duration
of
zooming
is
a
minimum of four seconds at the F
setting and seven seconds at the S
setting;
these
vaiues
will
vary,
however, with the condition of the
batteries.
Important; When battery power Is inade¬
quate, the zoom motor will falter, es¬
pecially at the slow speed setting. This
indicates the need for the immediate
replacement of the batteries.
Also avoid using the camera with the lens
at Its greater focal lengths without a
tripod, as holding the camera steady for
telephoto shooting is almost impossible.
Manual Zooming
You can override the power zooming
mechanism simply by turning the
telescoping manual zoom lever pro¬
truding from the lens barrel. Manual
zooming
is recommended to pre¬
select a lens focal length accurately,
obtain
jumps in focal lengths or
match the speed of zooming to that
of an approaching subject.
