Using Zoom
NOTE The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture,
the more that even small movements of the camera are
magnified (this is called “camera shake”). So, especially
at full telephoto zoom (8x), you really need to hold the
camera steady in order to take a picture that is not blurry.
If an icon of a shaking hand ( ) appears in the active
display, you may want to set the camera on a tripod or
stable surface, otherwise the picture will likely be blurry.
Optical Zoom
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.
Press Zoom Out and Zoom In on
the Zoom lever to move the lens between wide angle (1x) and
telephoto (8x) positions.
Whenever the zoom lever is pressed, a
zoom meter appears at the bottom of the
active display. A white bar in the middle
of the zoom meter separates optical and digital zoom. This
zoom meter is not shown when video clips are being recorded.
NOTE If the camera is set to MACRO focus, you can only zoom
to 3.5x. The zoom meter will consequently look different in
Macro mode, with a wider white bar in the middle of the
meter.
