FEATURE: Zooming
PURPOSE: To produce the zoom in/out effect, or

Shift Zoom
By digitally processing and
magnifying images, zooming is
possible from 5 – 14 times the
optical zoom limit, to a maximum of
140x magnification.
1)Set the Shooting Mode Selector to
“PRESET” and press MENU to
access the Main Menu screen.
2)Press + or – to move the highlight
bar to “Shift Zoom.”
3)Press FAR or NEAR to set the
magnification. “50x” magnifies
wide-angle images to
approximately 3.6 times the
original size, and enables zooming
in the 18x – 50x range. “140x”
magnifies wide-angle images to
approximately 10 times the
original size, and allows zooming
from 50x to 140x. To disable Shift
Zoom, set it to “OFF”. “140x” is
useful when you want to confirm
letters or numbers from a distance.
4)Press MENU to close the Main
Menu screen.
