If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
Using the Digital Zoom -------------------------------------------------------------------------
While you can use the normal zoom to enlarge the subject up to 7.1×, digital zooming allows you to enlarge the subject still further (up to another 4.8× for still images or 4.0× for movies).
To use digital zooming, turn and hold the zoom lever toward z until the maximum magnification is reached on the zoom bar, then momentarily release the zoom lever, and then turn the zoom lever again toward z.
If [Picture Quality/Size] is set to 3456 × 2592, you can also set [Digital Zoom Image] to [Auto Resize]. (GP.180)
Note
•You can also set the focal length of the zoom so that it stops at seven levels. (GP.168)
•The digital zoom cannot be used with dynamic range
