Shooting with the extra optical zoom

The camera’s optical zoom can normally give you a telephoto zoom of 4 times, but by choosing a resolution that has an EZ suffix, for example 5.5M EZ , the extra optical zoom starts functioning and zoom extends as follows. (The example uses [j] aspect ratio.)

• Set the resolution. (P72)

nHow the extra optical zoom works

• The extra optical zoom works by extracting the centre of the picture and expanding it for a higher telephoto effect. So, for example, if you choose [5.5M EZ ], 5.5 million pixels (out of the total [8M], 8 million possible with the CCD) are taken in your shot.

•The extra optical zoom allows you to increase the zoom ratio without the reduction in picture quality you get with digital zoom.

•The [ EZ ] icon appears when you zoom while using a resolution that can use the extra optical zoom.

•You can zoom in even further by using this in combination with the digital zoom. In the [REC] mode menu, set digital zoom to ON. (P77)

•The extra optical zoom does not work in the motion picture mode [i].
