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 3X.

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).

Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while recording with the Macro mode or manual focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell you the focusing range (pages 78, 80).

Optical zoom is disabled during movie recording. Digital zoom only is available. Make sure you select the optical zoom setting you want to use before you press the shutter button to start movie recording (page 103).
