BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

Using Zoom

Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical
zoom and digital zoom. Normally, the camera automatically
switches over to digital zoom after you reach the maximum
limit for optical zoom. You can, however, configure the
camera to disable digital zoom, if you want.

Optical Zoom

The optical zoom range is 1X to 4X.

In a REC mode, shift the
zoom controller to change
the zoom factor.

Shift this side of the zoom controller:

2.

Compose the image, and then press the
shutter button.

NOTE

• The optical zoom factor also affects the lens

aperture.

• Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against

hand movement when using the telephoto setting
(zoom in).

• You can change the digital zoom setting during

movie recording, but not the optical zoom setting.
Make sure you select the optical zoom setting you
want to use before you press the shutter button to
start movie recording.

• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation

while recording with the Macro mode (page 84) or
manual focus (page 85), a value will appear on the
monitor screen to tell you the focusing range.
