Using Zoom
There are two types of zooming. Optical zooming uses the lens to produce
quality pictures. Digital zooming continues the zooming process but reduces the
quality of the picture. The camera is equipped with an optical zoom lens that lets
you zoom in from Wide Angle (38 mm) to TelePhoto (115 mm).
Digital Zooming
Digital zooming allows you to zoom in on a subject beyond the range provided
by the optical zoom lens. Digital zooming crops the digital picture and resizes the
new cropped picture to the size of the selected resolution. The viewfinder cannot
accurately depict a subject that is digitally zoomed. You must use the color LCD
to preview the subject.
Move the Zoom button to adjust the lens.
