Using Zoom

NOTE The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the more that small movements of the camera are magnified (this is called “camera shake”). So, especially at full telephoto zoom (3x), you must hold the camera steady in order to take a picture that is not blurry. If an

icon of a shaking hand () appears in the Live View screen, you should set the camera on a tripod or stable surface; otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.

Optical Zoom

NOTE Optical zoom is disabled while recording video clips.

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

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

Digital Zoom

NOTE Digital zoom is disabled while recording video clips.

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses no moving lens parts. The camera essentially crops the image to give an appearance of the subject of the picture being an additional 1.1x to 6x larger.

1Press Zoom In on the Zoom lever to optically zoom in to the maximum level, then release the button.
