Taking Pictures with the Zoom
Using the Optical Zoom /
the Extended Optical Zoom (EZ)
You can make people and subjects appear
closer with the 3 times optical zoom, and
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
(35 mm lm camera equivalent: 35 mm to
105 mm)
To zoom even more (up to 4.5 times with
DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70) with no reduction
in picture quality, choose any resolution for
each of the available aspect ratios except
the largest one.
To make subjects appear closer use
(Tele)
Rotate the zoom lever towards Tele.
To make subjects appear further
away use (Wide)
Rotate the zoom lever towards Wide.
How the extended optical zoom
works
The extended optical zoom works by
extracting the center of the picture and
expanding it for a higher telephoto
effect. So, for example, if you choose
[ ] (3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M
(7 million) (DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70) or
6M (6 million) (DMC-LS60) CCD area
is cropped to the center 3M (3 million
pixels) area, allowing a picture with a
higher zoom effect.

• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1 ×)
when the camera is turned on.
• If you use the zoom function after
focusing on the subject, focus on the
subject again.
• The lens barrel (P9) extends or retracts
according to the zoom position. Take
care not to interrupt the motion of the
lens barrel while the zoom lever is
rotated.
• In motion picture mode [i], the zoom
magni cation is xed to the value set at
the start of recording.
