Shooting with Zoom
Your camera provides you with 12.5X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally processes the center portion of the photo to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 12.5X to 159.5X. The image deterioration point depends on the photo size (page 45).
1.In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.

IMPORTANT!
• Digital zoom is disabled while date stamp (page 90) is turned on.
NOTE
•The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the photo. Note that the camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image deterioration (page 45).
•Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera movement when shooting with telephoto.
•Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.
