Optical Zoom
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.
NOTE: Optical zoom is not available when recording video clips.
Digital Zoom
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses no moving lens parts. You can use digital zoom when you have exhausted optical zoom and you want to capture only a portion of the scene in the Image Display. As you zoom in, a yellow frame surrounds the portion of the scene you want to capture, allowing you to eliminate unwanted portions of the scene.
1.While in Live View, press Zoom In 
on the Zoom lever to optically zoom in to the maximum level, then release the lever.
2. Press Zoom In again and continue to press it until the image you want to capture fills the yellow frame. If you zoom in too far and want to zoom out,
press Zoom Out | on the |
Zoom lever. |
