Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates the zoom position). The color of the zoom bar will change depending on the zoom range.

-White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear grainy.

-Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably grainy (ZoomPlus).

-Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.

Because the blue range will not be available at some resolution settings (=36), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by following step 1.

Zoomed images may look grainy under some resolution settings (=36) and zoom factors. In this case, the zoom factor is shown in blue.
