Using zoom

NOTE

Zoom does not work while recording video clips.

Optical zoom

NOTE

Frequent or extended use of optical zoom consumes a

lot of battery power and can drain your batteries quickly.

Optical zoom works like the zoom on a traditional film camera,

with physical lens elements moving inside the camera to make

the subject of your picture appear closer.

NOTE

Press the

Zoom Out

and

Zoom In

controls on

the

Zoom

lever to move the

lens between wide angle

and telephoto positions (1x

to 3x).

Digital zoom

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses no moving lens parts.

The camera essentially crops the image, then uses interpolation

to enlarge the image to give the appearance of the subject in

the picture being from 1.25x to 4x closer.
