Basic

•Extended optical zoom mechanism When you set the picture size to [[3_]]

(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M (7 million pixels) (DMC-FX12)/6M (6 million pixels) (DMC-FX10) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.

•The optical zoom is set to Wide (1 ×) when the camera is turned on.

•If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

•The lens barrel (P9) extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care

not to interrupt the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.

•In motion picture mode [_]_], the zoom magnification is fixed to the value set at the start of recording.

•"EZ" is an abbreviation of "Extended optical Zoom".

•You can further enhance the zoom magnification with the extended optical zoom without worrying about further picture distortion.

•If you set a picture size that activates the extended optical zoom, the extended optical zoom icon [1"_ ] is displayed on the screen when yeu use the zoom function.

•The zoom will stop moving for an instant near [W] (1×) when the extended optical zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.

•The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.

•In motion picture mode [_] and [HIGH SEN&] in scene mode, the extended optical zoom does not work.
