NOTES:
●Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in
●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 700X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom. ( pg. 26)
●Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.
●During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.
●Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch is set to “MEMORY”.
●Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in MANUAL Menu on page 26.
