Taking Pictures with the Zoom
You can zoom-in to make people and objects appear closer or zoom-out to record
landscapes in wide angle. To make subjects appear even closer [maximum of 9.1k], do
not set the picture size to the highest setting for each aspect ratio (X/Y/W).
Even higher levels of magnification are possible when [DIGITAL ZOOM] is set to [ON] in
[REC] menu.
∫Types of zooms
•When using the zoom function, an estimate of the focus range will appear in conjunction
with the zoom display bar. (Example: 0.3 m (0.99 ft.) –)
¢The magnification level differs depending on [PICTURESIZE] and [ASPECT RATIO] setting.
∫Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [ ] (3 million pixels), the 12M (12.1 million pixels) CCD
area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher
zoom effect.
