Extra optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [ ]
(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 8M
(8 million pixels) CCD area is cropped to
the centre 3M (3 million pixels) area,
allowing a picture with a higher zoom
effect.
You can further enhance the zoom
magnification with the extra optical zoom
without worrying about further picture
distortion.
If you set a picture size that activates the
extra optical zoom, the extra optical zoom
icon [ ] is displayed on the LCD monitor
when you use the zoom function.
The zoom movement quickens near Wide
(1k) when using the extra optical zoom.
When you rotate the zoom ring near the
Tele position, the on-screen zoom
indication may momentarily pause. This is
not a malfunction.
Setting [D.ZOOM] in the [REC] mode
menu to [2k] or [4k] allows you to use the
digital zoom for recording an even larger
picture. However picture quality willl
deteriorate. (P34)
In motion picture mode [ ], the extra
optical zoom does not work.
