Using zoom

NOTE Zoom does not work while recording video clips.

Optical zoom

NOTE Frequent or extended use of optical zoom consumes a lot of battery power and can drain your batteries quickly.

Optical zoom works like the zoom on a traditional film camera, with physical lens elements moving inside the camera to make the subject of your picture appear closer.

NOTE Press the Zoom Out

and Zoom In controls on the Zoom lever to move the lens between wide angle and telephoto positions (1x to 3x).

Digital zoom

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses no moving lens parts. The camera essentially crops the image, then uses interpolation to enlarge the image to give the appearance of the subject in the picture being from 1.25x to 4x closer.

1Press the Live View button to turn on Live View.

2Press the Zoom In control to optically zoom in to the maximum level, then release the control.
