If you hold down the [ 
] side of the zoom button in step 2 of the above procedure, the zoom operation will stop when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom button and then holding down its [ 
] side will switch to digital zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.
•When the zoom pointer moves past the maximum limit of optical zoom. Also, the zoom bar indicates the approximate zoom factor.
