A Using a Zoom Lens
Use the zoom ring to zoom in on the subject
so that it fills a larger area of the frame, or
zoom out to increase the area visible in the
final photograph (select longer focal lengths
on the lens focal length scale to zoom in,
shorter focal lengths to zoom out).
If the lens is equipped with a retractable lens
barrel button (030), press and hold the
button while rotating the zoom ring until
the lens is released and the message shown
at right is no longer displayed, and then
adjust zoom using the zoom ring.
