BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

Digital Zoom

Digital zoom digitally enlarges the part of the image at the center of the image screen. The range of digital zoom is 5X to 40X (in combination with optical zoom).

IMPORTANT!

•When you perform a digital zoom operation, the camera manipulates the image data to enlarge the center of the image. Unlike optical zoom, an image enlarged with digital zoom appears coarser than the original.
