Taking pictures and videos

Using optical zoom

Use optical zoom to get up to 2X closer to your subject. Optical zoom is effective when the lens is no closer than 19.7 in. (50 cm) to the subject. You can change optical zoom before (but not during) video recording.

Using digital zoom

Use digital zoom in any Still mode to get an additional 3X magnification beyond optical zoom. Combined zoom settings are from 2.1X to 6.0X. You must turn on the camera screen to activate digital zoom.

IMPORTANT: You may notice a decrease in printed image quality when using digital zoom. The blue slider on the zoom indicator pauses, then turns red when the picture quality is less than 1 MP. For an acceptable 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) print, ensure that the slider remains blue.

1Press the OK button to turn on the camera screen.

2Press the Telephoto (T) button to the optical zoom limit (2X). Release the button, then press it again.

The camera screen displays the zoomed image and the zoom indicator.

3Press the Shutter button halfway and hold to set the exposure and focus, then press the rest of the way down to take the picture.

NOTE: You cannot use digital zoom for video recording.
