10⋅ optical zoom

The camera’s 10⋅ zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each scene:

•Move the zoom control towards W to zoom out to wide-angle.

•Move it towards T to 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 T and W buttons on the wireless controller adjust the picture angle, but not the zoom speed.

40⋅ digital zoom

Magnifies the camera's zoom range by up to 4⋅.

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⋅). A zoom bar shows up in the display. The digital zoom area is in blue.

•When zooming, as a rule, keep at least 1 m (3 ft 33/8 in) between you and your subject. However when the zoom is at the wide-angle position, you can focus on a subject as close as 1 cm (3/8 in).

•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 becomes “– – –”.
