BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
Using Zoom
Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical zoom and digital zoom. Normally, the camera automatically switches over to digital zoom after you reach the maximum limit for optical zoom. You can, however, configure the camera to disable digital zoom, if you want.
Optical Zoom
The optical zoom range is 1X to 4X.
1. In a REC mode, shift the zoom controller to change the zoom factor.

NOTE 
•The optical zoom factor also affects the lens aperture.
•Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against hand movement when using the telephoto setting (zoom in).
•You can change the digital zoom setting during movie recording, but not the optical zoom setting. Make sure you select the optical zoom setting you want to use before you press the shutter button to start movie recording.
•Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while recording with the Macro mode (page 84) or manual focus (page 85), a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell you the focusing range.
