Taking pictures and videos

Using digital zoom

Use digital zoom in any still mode to get an additional 4X magnification beyond optical zoom. Combined zoom settings are from 3.6X to 12X. You must turn on the camera screen before activating digital zoom.

1Press the Display/Info button to turn on the camera screen.

2Pull the Zoom button to the optical zoom limit (3X). Release the button, then pull 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.

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 approximately 1 MP. For an acceptable 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) print, ensure that the slider remains blue.
