Using the Zoom Function

Your camera has a combination of optical and digital zoom functions that allows you to zoom in on far away subjects or zoom out for a wide angle shot.

The optical zoom is achieved by mechanically adjusting the lens of the camera. The digital zoom enlarges or shrinks the image using a software process.

1	Make the zoom setting, and point the
	camera at the subject.
2	Press the zoom button (n) to compose the
	image.
	[W]: zoom out for a wide-angle shot.
	[T]: zoom in for a telephoto shot.

yWhen the zoom button is pressed, the zoom bar appears on the LCD monitor.

yWhen the optical zoom (o) factor is at maximum, zooming stops temporarily. Press the [T] again, the camera switches to the digital zoom (p) automatically and zooming continues.

yThe digital zoom (p) will not activate in movie recording.

3 Press shutter button to take a picture.
