Digital Camera Wide & Telephoto Modes

Video Transcript

"Well right now we're going to talk about the controls on the top of the camera. So this is the most important control. This is where you take the picture. This silver button right in the middle, and when you press it down a little bit it goes into an intermediate mode where it focuses the camera. Lets turn the camera on and go through all the different parts. So you saw the lens move, that's how it sets up and it will also go into telephoto mode where the lens gets longer so the focal length is longer, making more of a zoom in. If you want to go wide angle you'll push it to the left, where it says a W right up here, a T for telephoto with a magnifying glass, and a wide angle is the other direction. You've also got this big wheel up here and this allows you to set the different exposure modes and playback modes as well."
