Snapshot Tutorial
Your camera is equipped with various types of zoom: optical zoom, HD Zoom, Single
SR Zoom, Multi SR Zoom, and digital zoom. The maximum zoom factor depends on
the image size setting and the digital zoom on/off settings.
1. In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.
2. Press the shutter button to shoot the image.
NOTE
• 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.
• Except for High Speed Movie, zoom operations are supported during movie
recording. Zoom operations are disabled during high speed movie recording. To
use optical zoom, perform the zoom operation before you press [0] (Movie) to start
recording.
• Zoom operations are not supported during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom
setting is fixed at full wide angle.
• Zoom operations are not supported during Wide Shot shooting. The zoom setting
is fixed at full wide angle.
Shooting with Zoom
Optical zoom Changes the lens focal distance.
HD Zoom
Allows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the
original image and enlarging it.
Single SR Zoom
Applies super resolution technology to suppress image
deterioration (page 48).
Multi SR Zoom
Shoots a burst of High Speed CS images, which are then
combined into a final image to suppress image quality
deterioration across a range that is greater than Single SR
Zoom. (Multi SR Zoom is enabled by selecting the “Multi SR
Zoom” HS BEST SHOT scene.) (page 76)
