∫ Extra optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [ ]
(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 8M
(8.1 million pixels) CCD area is cropped to
the centre 3M (3 million pixels) area,
allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1k)
when the camera is turned on.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• The lens barrel extends or retracts
according to the zoom position. Take care
not to interrupt the motion of the lens
barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
• In motion picture mode [ ], the zoom
magnification is fixed to the value set at
the start of recording.
• “EZ” is an abbreviation of
“Extra optical Zoom”.
• If you set a picture size that activates the
extra optical zoom, the extra optical zoom
icon [ ] is displayed on the screen when
you use the zoom function.
• The zoom will stop moving for an instant
near [W] (1k) when the extra optical zoom
is used. This is not a malfunction.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• In motion picture mode [ ] and
[HIGH SENS.] or [HI-SPEED BURST] in
scene mode, the extra optical zoom does
not work.
A maximum of 14.3k zoom can be
achieved with the 3.6k optical zoom and
the 4k digital zoom when [D.ZOOM] is set
to [ON] in the [REC] mode menu. However,
if a picture size that can use extra optical
zoom is selected, a maximum of 22.7k
zoom can be achieved with the 5.7k extra
optical zoom and the 4k digital zoom.
