Shooting Images Using Zoom (optical zoom and digital zoom)

Using the zoom buttons is useful when you want to take a close-up of a flower you cannot get near to such as at a school presentation of field day.

Press until the optical zoom is maximized.

Press again.

The image is enlarged in the steps x1.3, x1.6, x2.0, x3.0* and x4.0*.

* The L3 goes up to x2.0.

Compose your picture by pressing the “” (telephoto) button to enlarge the subject and the “” (wide-angle) button to reduce the size of the subject.

In addition to an optical zoom, this camera is also equipped with an electronically con- trolled digital zoom function for increasing the magnification.

Although image quality is degraded, it is pos- sible to increase magnification up to 12 times (up to 6 times with the L3) by using the digi- tal zoom in combination with the optical zoom.

To use the two in combination, press the “” (telephoto) button until the optical zoom is maximized.

Release the button for an instant, then press the button again. Digital zoom will begin.

●You cannot use the optical zoom in the

[ ] macro mode. Only digital zoom can be used.
