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 41).
• 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.
• Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical
zoom setting before you press the shutter button to start movie recording.
. Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom Switch Point
Holding down z (telephoto) will zoom until the maximum optical zoom factor is
reached. Momentarily releasing the button when it reaches the maximum and then
pressing it again will switch to digital zoom, which you can use to set an even higher
zoom factor.
• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.
