This camera has a 12× optical zoom.
However, if the picture size is not set to the
highest setting for each aspect ratio [m/
I_lll/_], a maximum of 18× optical
zoom can be achieved with no picture
quality deterioration.
• Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [13_1]
(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M (7 million
pixels) CCD area is cropped to the center
3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a
picture with a higher zoom effect.

Basic
• "EZ" is an abbreviation of
"Extended optical Zoom".
• If you set a picture size that activates the
extended optical zoom, the extended
optical zoom icon [["_1] is displayed on the
screen when you use the zoom function.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• The on-screen zoom indication may not
change consecutively if you rotate the
zoom lever near the Tele position when
the extended optical zoom is used. This is
not a malfunction.
• In motion picture mode [_] and
[HIGH SENS.] in scene mode, the
extended optical zoom does not work.
