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 5X.
• The optical zoom range when Macro is selected as the
focus mode (page 84) is 1X to 2.25X.
1. In a REC mode, move the
zoom controller left or
right to zoom.
• Moving the zoom
controller as far as it
goes in either direction
will zoom at high speed.

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).
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation, a
value will appear on the monitor screen to tell you
the focusing range (pages 82, 84, 87).
