Optical Zoom/Digital Zoom Switch Point
If you hold the zoom controller towards z (Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom controller and then holding it again towards z (Telephoto) will switch to digital zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.
•If you do want to use digital zoom, change the “Digital Zoom” setting to “On” (page 84).
•During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.
