This camera has a 3.6M optical zoom.
However, if the picture size is not set to the
highest setting for each aspect ratio [ /
/ ], a maximum of 5.5M optical
zoom can be achieved with no picture
quality deterioration.
w Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [ ]
(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M (7 million
pixels) CCD area is cropped to the center
3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a
picture with a higher zoom effect.

• Refer to P74 for aspect ratio settings, P75
for picture size and P26 for simple mode
[].
• “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 [ ] is displayed on the
screen when you use the zoom function.
• The zoom will stop moving for an instant
near [W] (1M) 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 SENS.] in scene mode, the
extended optical zoom does not work.
