Intelli zoom is not available with the Text option in SCN mode and the Tracking AF option.

The Intelli zoom helps you capture a photo with less quality deterioration than the Digital zoom. However, the photo quality may be lower than when you use the Optical zoom.

The Intelli zoom is available only when you set a 4:3 resolution ratio.

If you set another resolution ratio with Intelli zoom on, the Intelli zoom will be turned off automatically.

The Intelli zoom is always on in Smart Auto mode.
