∫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

32

3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.

•Refer to P77 for aspect ratio settings, P78 for picture size and P29 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 movement becomes quicker near the [W] (1k) when using the extended optical zoom.

•The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.

•The on-screen zoom indication may not change consecutively if you rotate the zoom lever near the Tele position when the extended optical zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.

•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 48k zoom can be achieved with the 12k 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 66k zoom can be achieved with the 16.5k extended optical zoom and the 4k digital zoom.
