Setting a specific focal length on the CP990
Information kindly supplied by Miles Hellon, e-mail: mileshellon@hotmail.com
- Set camera to aperture priority.
- Set maximum aperture with command dial.
- Choose a focal length from the right-hand column of the
table, and set the zoom to give the corresponding aperture in the left-hand
table.
- Once you've set the zoom you can re-set the aperture or go
to a different mode to take your picture etc.
N.B. for this method to work, the menu setting for
"zoom/fixed aperture" needs to be set to "off".

The focal length figures are an average of 4 tries. I'd be
interested to hear how well they correspond with other people's CP990s.
