Zoom

Your camera is equipped with zoom functions that enlarge the image using optical zoom and two types of digital processing. Digital zoom can be selected from smart zoom or precision digital zoom. When digital zoom is set, the zoom method switches from optical zoom to digital zoom when the zoom scale exceeds 3×.

To use only the optical zoom, set [Digital Zoom] to [Off] on the Setup screen (page 114). In this case, the digital zoom area does not appear in the zoom scale display bar on the LCD screen, and the maximum zoom is 3×. The enlargement method and the zoom scale differ according to the image size and the zoom type, so select the zoom to match the shooting purpose.

When digital zoom is set and you press the zoom button, the zoom scaling indicator appears on the LCD screen as follows.

The W side of this line is optical zoom, and the T side is digital zoom

Smart zoom

The image is enlarged with almost no distortion. This lets you use smart zoom with the same feeling as optical zoom. To set smart zoom, set [Digital Zoom] to [Smart] on the Setup screen (page 114). When you purchase your camera, it is set to smart zoom.

The maximum zoom scale depends on the selected image size as follows.

1M6.1×

VGA12×

When you purchase your camera, the image size is set to [5M]. Smart zoom cannot be used when the image size is set to [5M] or [3:2], so set a different image size.

•When using the smart zoom, the image on the LCD screen may look rough. However, this phenomenon has no effect on the recorded image.

•You cannot use the smart zoom in the Multi Burst mode.

Precision digital zoom

All image sizes are enlarged up to a maximum 6×. This function cuts out and enlarges a certain portion of the image, so the image quality deteriorates. To set precision digital zoom, set [Digital Zoom] to [Precision] on the Setup screen
