If the digital zoom is set to off in the menu, the optical zoom and the Intelligent
Zoom ranges are available for use. The zoom ratio of the Intelligent Zoom varies
depending on the number of recorded pixels.
Instant Review and Blink Detection
When the Face Detection function does not work, Blink Detection also does
not function. Even if the subjects’ faces are recognized, Blink Detection
may not function depending on the condition of the recognized faces.
You can also disable the Blink Detection function (p.101).
