That's normal, a camera's aperture is at its smallest at wide-angle and larger at tele.

For example, at wide my aperture is F2.8...while at tele, my aperture is F3.5.

If u use P mode, the DC will be smart enuff to reset be to F1.8 when u r at wide-angle.
 

Thanks Jayan for the answer. It seems u always come to everyone's help when they have questions. Again thanks!

Hee remember wat I told u in the night shot post kyle? C2040Z's largest aperture will become around F2.8 when u zoom in at 3x.

This applies to when you add on TC filters, the more X u add, the aperture will increase as well.

And all Hail Jayan, the Oly CEO! :D
