To change the digital zoom, open the menu and select CAM.SET UP. Then select D.ZOOM, set it to OFF or 360⋅ and close the menu.

Notes:

•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 3/8 in (1 cm).

•Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than 22⋅/18⋅.

•You cannot use digital zoom in the Night recording program.

•You cannot use digital zoom when the multi-image screen is set. The display becomes –“–.”–

•The zoom indicator appears for 4 seconds. When the digital zoom is set to

88⋅/72⋅, the zoom indicator extends (light blue). When the digital zoom is set to 440⋅/360⋅ zoom, the zoom indicator extends again (a darker blue).
