intelli-zoom and 1200x digital zoom.
You can zoom with the zoom lever or the Control (W/T) button on the LCD panel.

Optical zoom preserves image quality, but during digital zoom the quality
of image may suffer.
Fast zooming or zooming in subject of far distance may produce slow
focusing. In this case, use "Manual Focus".
➥page 63
It is recommended to use "Anti-Shake (HDIS)" with handheld recording
if the subject is zoomed in and enlarged.
Frequent use of zooming in / out consumes more battery power.
