The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out
between 1×and 40×magnification — the camera automatically switches between
optical zooming (up to 10×) and digital zooming (10×to 40×). Azoom bar shows
up in the display. The digital zoom area is in blue.
Zooming
The camera’s 10×zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each
scene:
•Move the zoom control towards Wto zoom out to wide-angle.
•Move it towards Tto zoom in to telephoto.
You can also control the speed of zooming:
•Move the control slightly to zoom slowly.
•Move it farther to zoom more quickly. (The farther you move the zoom control,
the faster the zoom speed.)
The Tand W buttons on the wireless controller adjust the picture angle, but not
the zoom speed.

•When zooming, as a rule, keep at least 3 ft 33/8 in (1 m) between you and your
subject. However when the zoom is at the wide-angle position, you can focus
on a subject as close as 3/8in (1 cm).
•Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than 10×.
•You cannot use digital zoom when the multi-image screen is set. The display
