Canon 10, optura20 31

❍Keep at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) to the subject. At wide-angle, you can focus on a subject as close as 0.39 in. (1 cm).

❍A zoom indicator appears for 4 seconds. It extends in light blue when the digital zoom is set to 64⋅, and extends further in dark blue when set to 320⋅.

❍Digital zoom cannot be used in the Night mode and Super Night (OPTURA20) mode.

❍Digital zoom cannot be used when the multi-image screen is selected.

❍Because the image stabilizer cannot be used in CARD CAMERA mode, we recommend mounting the camcorder on a tripod at large magnifications.
