When [FSH], [FHD] is selected, there will be no enlarging with the Extended Tele Conversion (1k).

Note

•When the Extended Tele Conversion is used, angle of view for still pictures will be different from the angle of view for motion pictures because the zoom factor is different between them. Angle of view for recording can be checked beforehand by matching the [Rec Area] (P158) setting to the mode you wish to record in.

•When using the Digital Zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P88) for taking pictures.

– When [Quality] is set to [ ], [ ] or [ ]

•In [Toy Effect] of Creative Control Mode, the [Ex. Tele Conv.] and [Digital Zoom] cannot be used.
