(2M EZ)

Extended optical zoom mechanism

When you set the picture size to [ ]

(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 6M (6 million pixels) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.

Refer to P65 for aspect ratio settings, P65 for picture size and P25 for simple mode [ ].

“EZ” is an abbreviation of [Extended optical Zoom].

You can further enhance the zoom magnification with the extended optical zoom without worrying about further picture distortion.

If you set a picture size that activates the extended optical zoom, the extended

optical zoom icon [ ] is displayed on the screen when you use the zoom function.

The zoom will stop moving for an instant near [W] (1k) when the extended optical zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.

The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.

In motion picture mode [ ] and [HIGH SENS.] in scene mode, the

extended optical zoom does not work.

Using the Digital Zoom

Further extending the zoom

A maximum of 14.6k zoom can be achieved with the 3.6k optical zoom and the 4k digital zoom when [D.ZOOM] is set to [ON] in the [REC] menu. However, if a picture size that can use extended optical zoom is selected, a maximum of 20k zoom can be achieved with the 5k extended optical zoom and the 4k digital zoom.

Menu operation

1 Press [MENU/SET].

When a scene mode is selected, press 2 in the [SCENE MODE] menu (P46), press 4 to select the [REC] menu icon [ ] and then press 1.

2 Press 3/4 to select [D.ZOOM] and then press 1.

3 Press 4 to select [ON] and then press [MENU/SET].
