Using the Digital Zoom -------------------------------------------------------------

While you can use the normal zoom to enlarge the subject up to 10.7 ×, digital zooming allows you to enlarge the subject still further (up to another 4.8 × for still images, 2.8 × for movies with a frame size of 1280, or 4.0 × for movies with a frame size of 640 or 320).

To use digital zooming, turn and hold the zoom lever toward zuntil 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 j4 : 3 F or j4 : 3 N, you can also set [Digital Zoom Image] to [Auto Resize] (GP.104).

Depending on the shooting mode or the settings in the shooting menu, the digital zoom cannot be used (GP.124).
