Using zoom
Your camera has both optical and digital zoom. Optical zoom physically adjusts the lens
to make the subject of your picture appear closer. After you have zoomed the lens out
fully using optical zoom, the camera employs digital zoom. Digital zoom uses no moving
lens parts.
Tip The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the more small
movements of the camera are magnified (this is called camera shake). If
appears when you press the Shutter button halfway down, the picture may
be blurry. Be sure to hold the camera still or add more light to the scene. Try
holding the camera closer to your body or against a steady object, or set the
camera on a tripod or stable surface.
