Using the zoom
There are two zoom functions (optical zoom and digital zoom). When you first zoom in on the
subject, it is magnified with the optical zoom. When the limit of the optical zoom has been
reached, zooming in further will then magnify the image using the digital zoom. You can set
whether or not the digital zoom becomes active when shooting (see page 89).
The digital zoom can be used when the resolution is set to D or less.
1
Set the digital zoom to on (see page 89), and point the
camera lens at the subject.
œ When the digital zoom is set to on, the digital zoom icon
will appear on the LCD monitor.
2
Press 0 or 1 on the zoom switch to compose the
desired image.
0: Zoom in on the subject.
1: Zoom out.
œ When the optical zoom factor becomes 2.8x, zooming
stops temporarily. When the zoom switch is again
pressed to 0, it changes to the digital zoom mode, and
zooming continues (if digital zooming is available).
œ While the digital zoom is active, the stand-by indicator
flashes green and the digital zoom icon becomes yellow.
3
Press the shutter release button.
œ The image is captured with the subject zoomed up
(enlarged).
When you have finished capturing images, turn off the digital camera.
NOTE
œ When the digital zoom is used, the image quality will deteriorate slightly.
œ If the optical zoom is operated during video clip photography, the noise from the zoom
movement may be picked up by the microphone. In this case, change the camera setting so
that the optical zoom does not move (see page 88).
The digital zoom cannot be used when capturing images using the viewfinder
œ If the main switch is set to “MONITOR OFF” while the digital zoom is active, the digital zoom is
canceled and only the optical zoom (2.8x) will function.
