Using zoom
NOTE Zoom does not work while recording video clips.
Optical zoom
Optical zoom works like the zoom on a traditional film camera, with physical lens elements moving inside the camera to make the object of your picture appear closer.
Press the Zoom Out and Zoom
In buttons 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 object in the picture being from 1x to 5x closer.
1Press the Zoom in button to optically zoom in to the maximum level, then release the button.
2Press the Zoom in button again
and hold it until you reach the desired size in the Image Display. The picture enlarges in the Image Display (as do the focus brackets). The amount of digital zoom appears at the bottom of the Image Display.
3Press the Shutter button to take the picture.
