You can use the digital zoom to zoom up to a maximum of 40x and capture
subjects that are too far away for the optical zoom (p. 22) to enlarge. The
images may appear coarse, however, depending on the recording pixel
setting (p. 68) and the zoom factor used.
Move the zoom lever toward i.
Hold the lever until zooming stops.
XThe zoom will stop when the largest
possible zoom factor without image
deterioration has been reached, and the
zoom factor will appear.
Move it toward i again.
XThe digital zoom will zoom in even further
on the subject.
