Using Zoom

Your camera offers optical and digital zoom features. Use optical zoom to get up to two times closer (2X) to your subject. Then, to get even closer, use digital zoom for an additional 3X.

In optical zoom, the camera lens extends or retracts as you push the zoom buttons. When you turn on the camera, the lens extends toward the W position. Digital zoom is accomplished with camera image processing; the lens does not move. Preview is required for digital zoom.
