Snapshot Tutorial
NOTE
• The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the
camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image
deterioration (page 48).
• Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera
movement when shooting with telephoto.
• Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.
• Both optical zoom and digital zoom are disabled during high speed movie
recording.
• Zooming with digital zoom only is possible during recording an HD or STD movie.
However, can zoom with optical zoom before you press [0] to start HD or STD
movie recording.
If you hold the zoom controller towards z (Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop
when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom
controller and then holding it again towards z (Telephoto) will switch to digital
zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.
• If you do want to use digital zoom, change the “Digital Zoom” setting to “On” (page
96).
• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.
