Zooming in More Closely on Subjects Digital Zoom

Zooming in More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom)

You can use the digital zoom to zoom up to a maximum of 15x and capture subjects that are too far away for the optical zoom (p. 24) to enlarge. The images may appear coarse, however, depending on the recording pixel setting (p. 72) and the zoom factor used.

Move the zoom lever toward i.

● Hold the lever until zooming stops.  The zoom will stop when the largest possible zoom factor without image

deterioration has been reached, and the zoom factor will appear.

Move it toward i again.

The digital zoom will zoom in even further on the subject.
