• It is recommended to use a tripod or other support to prevent camera shake when taking pictures at high zoom.

Pictures taken in the digital zoom range appear grainier than pictures taken in the optical zoom range.

Intelligent Zoom is not available under the following conditions:

-When the number of recorded pixels is set to m/n/o(5× optical zoom is available)

-In c(Digital SR) mode

-When the sensitivity is set to 3200 or 6400

The image enlarged using Intelligent Zoom may appear rough on the display. This does not affect the quality of the recorded image.

The focus range is not displayed when the focus mode is set to 3/s or the shooting mode is set to S (Fireworks), or while recording a movie.
