Digital zoom area is displayed within zoom bar on screen.

‘DIGITAL ZOOM’ (P.39) is set to ‘ON’.

The enlargement ratio displayed in the bar on screen is an estimate.

In certain recording modes, TELE MACRO function (P.45) is activated when maximum zoom ratio is reached.

A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures of close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more colouring appearing around the outlines of objects.

The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated – this is not a fault.

When using extra optical zoom, zoom movement may stop momentarily near maximum W (1x), but this is not a fault.

e.g. With 48x

Digital zoom area

Zoom motion stops momentarily when entering digital zoom range.

Within digital zoom range, AF area is displayed larger when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P.48).

Extra optical zoom cannot be used in the following cases:

‘MACRO ZOOM’, motion picture, ‘TRANSFORM’ ‘HIGH SENS.’, ‘HI-SPEED BURST’, ‘FLASH BURST’, ‘PIN HOLE’, and ‘FILM GRAIN’ scene modes

‘ZOOM RESUME’ (P.24) allows zoom ratio to be memorised even if power is turned off.
