NOTE
•The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image deterioration (page 46).
•Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera movement when shooting with telephoto.
•Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.
•Both optical zoom and digital zoom are disabled during high speed movie recording.
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 87).
•During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.
