Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates

the zoom position). The color of the zoom bar will change depending

on the zoom range.

-

White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear

grainy.

-

Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably

grainy (ZoomPlus).

-

Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.

Because the blue range will not be available at some resolution

settings (

=

35

), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by

following step 1.

To deactivate digital zoom, choose MENU (

=

22

) ► [

4] tab ► [Digital

Zoom] ► [Off].
