Note

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

A digital picture is made of numerous dots called pixels. The higher the numbers of pixels, the finer the picture will be

when it is printed on a large piece of paper or displayed on a PC monitor.

A Many pixels (Fine)

B Few pixels (Rough)

¢ These pictures are examples to show the effect.

If you change the aspect ratio, set the picture size again.

The extended optical zoom does not work in [HIGH SENS.] or [HI-SPEED BURST] in scene mode so the picture size for [ ] is not displayed.

Pictures may appear mosaic depending on the subject and the recording conditions.

Refer to P124 for information about the number of recordable pictures.
