Power Zoom Lenses

Zoom can be adjusted on power zoom lenses using the zoom/focus control ring, zoom button, or zoom ring.

Adjusting zoom while the lens is wet makes it easier for water to find its way inside the lens. Wipe any water from the lens before adjusting zoom.

A XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens is used here for illustrative purposes.

Control Description

AZoom ring

Rotate the zoom ring to zoom in or out manually.

BZoom/focus control ring

Rotate the zoom/focus control ring to zoom in or out using powered zoom. The zoom speed is proportional to the speed with which the ring is rotated.

CZ/F (zoom/focus) button

Switch the role of zoom/focus control ring from focus to zoom or vice versa.

DZoom buttons

Press a zoom button to zoom in or out at a steady speed using powered zoom. Zoom ends when the button is pressed a second time.

The [Z/F] and zoom buttons can be assigned other roles using D[BUTTON/DIAL SETTING] > [POWER ZOOM LENS FUNCTION (Fn) SETTING].

The speed at which zoom can be adjusted via the zoom buttons can be chosen using D[BUTTON/DIAL SETTING] > [LENS ZOOM/FOCUS SETTING].
