Optical Zoom and Extra Optical Zoom (EZ)
Automatically switches to “Optical Zoom” when using maximum Picture Size (→46), and

“Optical Zoom” offers 4 x magnification. You can zoom in even closer without the loss of
picture quality by lowering the picture size and using “Extra Optical Zoom.”
For zooming in even closer, “Digital Zoom” (→50) is available.
●
Extra Optical Zoom system
When the recording pixel level is set to [3 M ] (corresponding to 3 million pixels),
3 million pixels of the available pixel level in the centre of the CCD are used in
recording, enabling higher magnification.
●
The zoom ratio and the zoom bar displayed on the screen are estimates.

Extra Optical Zoom cannot be used in the following cases:

When there is no space left to store the motion picture, recording automatically ends.
