Using Zoom

Your camera has both optical and digital 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.

After you have extended the lens fully using optical zoom, the camera employs digital zoom. You can use digital zoom when you have exhausted optical zoom and want to capture only a portion of the scene in the Image Display. Digital zoom uses no moving lens parts.

When you use zoom, a zoom indicator appears on the Image Display. The green marker indicates the zoom position

and moves left or right as you press and .
