„How the extended optical zoom works

When you set the picture size to [C] (3 million pixels), the 8M (8.1 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 does not operate in Intelligent Auto Mode [4]

•The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.

•“EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended Optical Zoom”.

•The optical zoom is set to Wide (1 ×) 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 and the self-timer (P40) for taking pictures.
