●What is Extra Optical Zoom (EZ)?

∗ When the picture aspect ratio is

If, for example, set to ‘3M ’ (equivalent to 3 million pixels), a picture will only be taken of a 3M-sized central part of a 12 M (equivalent to 12.1 million pixels) area, meaning that the picture can be enlarged further.

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

●In certain Recording Modes, ‘Tele macro’ function (→49) 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.

●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 [PHOTO FRAME] Scene Modes

●Digital Zoom cannot be used in the following modes:

([INTELLIGENT AUTO] Mode), ([CLIPBOARD] Mode), Scene Modes ([TRANSFORM], [HIGH SENS.], [HI-SPEED BURST], [FLASH BURST], [PIN HOLE], [FILM GRAIN] and [PHOTO FRAME])

●[ZOOM RESUME] (→25) allows zoom ratio to be memorised even if power is turned off.
