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 5X.
•The optical zoom range when Macro is selected as the focus mode (page 84) is 1X to 2.25X.
