    Solution

      If you lose track of a subject while zoomed in, you can find it more easily by temporarily zooming out.



      1. Press the <Power> button to turn the camera on.

      2. Press and hold the <> button.



      The camera zooms out and displays a white frame around the area previously shown (before you pressed the <> button).



      3. Aim the camera so that the subject enters the white frame, and then release the <> button.
      • The previous magnification is now restored, so that the area outlined in white fills the screen again.


      IMPORTANT
      • Some shooting information is not displayed while the camera is zoomed out.
      • During movie shooting, the white frame is not displayed if you press the <> button. Also note that camera operating sounds such as zooming will be recorded.
      NOTE
      • If you prefer to shoot at the zoom factor of the screen in step 2, press the shutter button all the way down.
      • You can adjust the zoom factor that the camera will revert to when you release the < > button by moving the zoom lever to resize the white frame while you hold the < > button.
      • To adjust how much the camera zooms out when the < > button is pressed, press the <MENU > button and choose one of the three options in [ Display Area] on the [ ] tab.
      • The zoom factor cannot be changed with the < > button after you press the shutter button all the way down in self-timer mode.
