Setting the Digital Zoom

You can select among three different zoom ranges: 1–16(optical zoom), 16–64(digital zoom) or 64–400(digital zoom). The digital zoom allows you to record powerful close-up pictures with the same operation as normal zooming.

Notes:

•The digital zoom is in addition to the optical zoom giving a combined maximum zoom range of 1–400.

•As the image is enlarged digitally, the picture quality decreases when higher digital zoom settings are used.

•The digital zoom cannot be used with the Digital Quick Zoom or the STRETCH or SLIM EFF. picture effects.

•A “D” appears in front of “ZOOM” when you push the Power Zoom control to the T (telephoto) side during the digital zoom.
