Basic
• Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [[3_]]
(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M (7 million
pixels) (DMC-FX12)/6M (6 million pixels)
(DMC-FX10) 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 [_]_], the zoom
magnification is fixed to the value set at
the start of recording.
• "EZ" is an abbreviation of
"Extended optical Zoom".
• You can further enhance the zoom
magnification with the extended optical
zoom without worrying about further
picture distortion.
• If you set a picture size that activates the
extended optical zoom, the extended
optical zoom icon [1"_ ] is displayed on the
screen when yeu use the zoom function.
• The zoom will stop moving for an instant
near [W] (1×) when the extended optical
zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• In motion picture mode [_] and
[HIGH SEN&] in scene mode, the
extended optical zoom does not work.
