What is Extended optical zoom (EZ)?

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 10 M (equivalent to 10.1 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 (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 coloring 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 extended optical zoom, zoom movement may stop momentarily near maximum W (1x), but this is not a fault.

Extended 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 memorized even if power is turned off.
