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, rotate the zoom controller to zoom.
2. Press the shutter button to shoot.
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.
• Zoom operations are supported during movie recording. Zoom operations are
disabled during high speed movie recording. To use zoom, perform the zoom
operation before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.

Shooting with Zoom
Optical zoom
Zooming is performed by changing the lens focal distance, so
there is no deterioration of image quality.
HD Zoom
Allows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the
original image and enlarging it, without deterioration of image
quality.
Single SR Zoom
Applies super resolution technology to suppress image
deterioration (page 54).
Multi SR Zoom
Shoots a burst of high-speed images, which are then combined
into a final image in a way that lessens deterioration of image
quality. Multi SR Zoom is enabled only when the “Multi SR
Zoom” recording mode is selected. (page 55)
Digital zoom
A digital process is used to enlarge the center of the image, so
there is deterioration of image quality.
