Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [ ] (3 million pixels), the 14.5M (14.7 million pixels) CCD area
is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.
Note
The digital zoom cannot be set when õ has been selected.
The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.
“EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended optical Zoom”.
The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k) when the camera is turned on.
If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
The lens barrel extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care not to interrupt
the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
When using the digital zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective.
When using the digital zoom, we recommend using a tripod a nd the se lf-timer (P42) for ta king pictures.
You can zoom at high speed to Tele (maximum zoom position).
The zoom magnification differs depending on the picture size that is set.
To return to Wide using the easy zoom
Zooming returns at high speed as far as Wide.
When the zoom position returns to the Wide while the maximum picture size is set, the picture
size which was changed in the extended optical zoom range now returns to what it was
originally. Also, the picture size returns to what it was originally when the zoom position has
been returned to the optical zoom range using the zoom lever.
