(D) Zoom ratio

The zoom ratio can be confirmed between [Z00]/[iZ00] (maximum wide angle) to [Z99]/[iZ99] (maximum telephoto) on the screen display. The value becomes higher as the unit zooms in and smaller as the unit zooms out.

About the zoom speed

The zoom speed changes with the amount that the zoom lever (on the grip) is pushed or the speed that the zoom ring is turned.

The zoom is at a steady rate with the zoom lever (on the handle).

Performs the zoom operation with the speed set in the [CAMERA] menu [SW MODE] [H.ZOOM SPEED].

If you take your finger off the zoom lever during zoom operation, the operation sound may be recorded. When returning the zoom lever to the original position, move it quietly.

The units for the zoom ratio can be changed in the [ZOOM/FOCUS] menu. ( character_reference [ZOOM/FOCUS])

Using i.ZOOM

When [i.ZOOM] is set to [ON], you can zoom to a maximum of approximately 32× (approximately 24× when recording with UHD) while maintaining the beauty of high-definition image quality.

Select the [CAMERA] menu [SW MODE] [i.ZOOM] [ON].

You can set [i.ZOOM] in a USER button so that you can use iZoom. ( character_reference Assigning functions to the USER buttons)

The zoom ratio display changes.

(For example)

– iZ00 to iZ99: Optical zoom range

– icon_display_izoom_i Z99: In iZoom

Using fast zoom

When [FAST ZOOM] is assigned to a USER button, you can use fast zoom by operating the zoom lever (on the grip).

Select the [CAMERA] menu [USER SW] [USER1] to [USER14] [FAST ZOOM].

Either press the USER button assigned to [FAST ZOOM] or touch the USER button icon.

Push the zoom lever (on the grip) until the end to zoom.

The zoom ratio display changes during fast zoom. (For example: icon_display_fzoom_z 99)

When the [CAMERA] menu [SW MODE] [H.ZOOM SPEED] is set to [7], fast zoom can also be used by operating the zoom lever (on the handle).

As the operating noise of fast zoom will be louder than normal, the operating noise may be recorded during recording. If the operating noise is a problem, disable [FAST ZOOM].

Auto focus may not be able to keep up during fast zoom, depending on the subject.

Fast zoom cannot be used in the following case:

– When interval recording is enabled
