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 49).
•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.
•Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical zoom setting before you press [0] (Movie) to start movie recording.
Optical Zoom and 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.
• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.
