∫Extended optical zoom mechanism When you set the picture size to [ 
]
(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M (7 million pixels) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.
•The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k) 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 (P9) 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.
•In motion picture mode [ 
], the zoom magnification is fixed to the value set at
the start of recording.
•“EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended optical Zoom”.
