Note

The normal optical zoom functions from 1X to 10X.

As magnification increases, resolution significantly decreases.

Because the image is enlarged digitally, the picture may become distorted when higher magnification levels are used.

When the level falls below 10X, the normal zooming function will resume.

Focus distance becomes 1.2 m (4 feet) if the lens is in full telephoto.
