Taking Pictures with the Zoom
You can zoom-in to make people and objects appear closer or zoom-out to record
landscapes in wide angle. To make subjects appear even closer [maximum of 7.8k
(DMC-FS12)/7.1k (DMC-FS62)], do not set the picture size to the highest setting for each
aspect ratio (X/Y/W).
Even higher levels of magnification are possible when [DIGITAL ZOOM] is set to [ON] in
[REC] menu.
