Taking Pictures with the Zoom

Using the Optical Zoom /

the Extended Optical Zoom (EZ)

You can make people and subjects appear closer with the 3 times optical zoom, and landscapes can be recorded in wide angle. (35 mm ﬁlm camera equivalent: 35 mm to 105 mm)

To zoom even more (up to 4.5 times with DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70) with no reduction in picture quality, choose any resolution for each of the available aspect ratios except the largest one.

■To make subjects appear closer use (Tele)

Rotate the zoom lever towards Tele.

■To make subjects appear further away use (Wide)

Rotate the zoom lever towards Wide.

■How the extended optical zoom works

The extended optical zoom works by extracting the center of the picture and expanding it for a higher telephoto effect. So, for example, if you choose

[ 3M ] (3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M (7 million) (DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70) or 6M (6 million) (DMC-LS60) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.

•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.
