The zoom control is used to frame subjects in the mon- itor. Select W to zoom out, increasing the area visible in the frame. Select T to zoom in up to 3 × so that the

subject ﬁ lls a larger area of the frame. The amount of Zoom out Zoom in zoom is displayed in the monitor.

Holding the control to T for about two seconds at 3 × zoom will trigger digital zoom, allowing the subject to be magniﬁ ed up to 4 × more, for a total of magniﬁ cation of 12 ×.

Digital Zoom

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of detail visible in the picture. Instead, details visible at 3 × zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.
