landscapes in wide angle.
To make subjects appear closer use (Tele)
Rotate the zoom ring towards Tele. (P12)
To make subjects appear further away use (Wide)
Rotate the zoom ring towards Wide. (P12)
To enlarge further, set the [EX. OPT. ZOOM] in the [REC] mode menu to [ON], or set the
[DIGITAL ZOOM] to [2M] or [4M] for further enlargement.
When the [EX. OPT. ZOOM] (max. 2 times) is used, set the aspect ratio (X/Y/W/ )
to numbers of recordable pixels other than [L].

Example: When it is set to [ ] (equal to 3.1 million pixels), it will take the picture using
the 3.1 million pixels in the centre out of the 12 million pixels of the imaging device,
resulting to be more of a telephoto picture.
Note
• “EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extra optical Zoom”.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• When using the digital zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective.
• When using the digital zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P75) for taking
pictures.
