SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Your camera provides you with 3X optical zoom (which changes
the lens focal distance), which can be used in combination with
digital zoom (which digitally process the center portion of the
image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 12 - 45X.
IMPORTANT!
• Generally speaking, the higher the digital zoom factor, the
coarser the image that is recorded. However, digital zoom
can be used up to a certain point without causing
deterioration of the image.
1. Enter the REC mode.
2. Slide the zoom controller to change the zoom
factor.
– For more information, see “Optical Zoom and Digital
Zoom Switch Point” on page 60.
3. Press the shutter button to shoot.
