2. Press Zoom In again and continue to press it until you reach the desired size in the Image Display. A yellow frame surrounds the area of the image that will be captured, and the image enlarges in the yellow frame.

The resolution number on the right side of the screen also becomes smaller as you digitally zoom. For example, 4.3MP appears in place of 5MP, indicating that the image is being reduced to a size of 4.3 Megapixels.

3.When the image is at the desired size, press the Shutter button halfway down to lock focus and exposure, and then press it all the way down to take the picture.

To turn digital zoom off and return to optical zoom, press

Zoom Out on the Zoom lever until digital zooming stops. Release Zoom Out , and then press it again.

NOTE: Digital zoom is not available while recording video clips.

NOTE: Digital zoom reduces the resolution of an image, so your picture will tend to be more grainy than the same image taken with optical zoom. If you intend to e-mail an image or post it to a website, this loss of resolution will probably not be noticeable; but in situations where you need higher quality (such as for printing), limit the use of digital zoom. It is also recommended that you use a tripod to hold the camera steady when using digital zoom.
