‘Optical Zoom’ offers 4 x magnification. At a lower recording pixel level, ‘Extra Optical
Zoom’ can be used to zoom up to 8.4 x. For zooming in even closer, ‘Digital Zoom’ is
available.

Extra Optical Zoom system
When the recording pixel level is set to [3 M ] (corresponding to 3 million pixels), 3
million pixels of the available pixel level in the centre of the CCD are used in recording,
enabling higher magnification.

The enlargement ratio displayed in the bar on screen is an estimate.

Zoom 4 times further than Optical/Extra Optical Zoom.
(Note that, with Digital Zoom, enlarging will decrease picture quality.)

• Zoom motion stops momentarily when entering
Digital Zoom range.
• Within Digital Zoom range, AF area is displayed
larger when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
• We recommend using a tripod and [SELFTIMER].
●
A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures
of close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more colouring
appearing around the outlines of objects.
●
The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom button is operated,
but this is not a fault.
●
When Extra Optical Zoom is used, zooming momentarily stops partway, but this is not a
malfunction.
●
Extra Optical Zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
[MACRO ZOOM], Motion Picture, [TRANSFORM], [HIGH SENS.], [HI-SPEED BURST],
[FLASH BURST], and [PHOTO FRAME] Scene Modes
●
Digital Zoom cannot be used in the following modes:
• ([INTELLIGENT AUTO] Mode) • [TRANSFORM], [HIGH SENS.], [HI-SPEED
BURST], [FLASH BURST], [FILM GRAIN] and [PHOTO FRAME] Scene Modes
