Basic
∫Extended Optical Zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [ ] (3 million pixels), the 14M (14.1 million pixels) CCD
area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher
zoom effect.
Note
•The Digital Zoom cannot be set when õ has been selected.
•The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.
•“EZ” is an abbreviation of “ExtendedOptical Zoom”.
•The Optical Zoom is set to Wide (1k) when the camera is turned on.
Zoom position is as when the power was turned off if the [ZOOMRESUME] (P33) is set to
[ON].
•If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
•The lens barrel 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.
•When you rotate the zoom lever, you may hear some sound from the camera or the camera
may shake. This is not a malfunction.
•When using the Digital Zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective.
•When using the Digital Zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the Self-Timer (P75) for taking
pictures.
•[I.RESOLUTION] is fixed to [i.ZOO M] in Intelligent Auto Mode or Scene Mode¢.
