DIGITAL ZOOM

Assisting the optical zoom is a 2.2X digital zoom. The effect of the digital zoom doubles the power of the telephoto position of the optical zoom giving the equivalent of a 308mm lens on a 35mm camera. The effect is visible on the LCD monitor only. The digital-zoom is canceled if the LCD monitor is turned off (p. 37). The digital zoom is activated in the auto-recording menu (p. 42). In the multi- function recording mode, it is activated in the custom 1 section of the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 54).

Controller

At the maximum telephoto position, press the up key (T) to activate the digital zoom. X2.2 will be displayed in the top right corner of the monitor.

To cancel the digital zoom, press the down key.

When an image is taken with the digital zoom, the final image size depends on the image-size setting on the camera, see chart.
