Panasonic VQT2Y96, DMCFZ40K operating instructions Extended Optical Zoom mechanism

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 “Extended Optical 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 [ZOOM RESUME] (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.
