Types of zooms
¢1 When a picture size of [S] (3 M), aspect ratio of [X] is selected.
The magnification level differs depending on [PICTURE SIZE] and [ASPECT RATIO] setting.
¢2 When Recording Mode [AVCHD Lite] is selected, or Recording Mode [MOTION JPEG] is
selected with recording quality setting [ ] or [ ]. When recording quality setting [ ] or
[ ] is selected, Extended Optical Zoom factor will change to 4.2.
Extended Optical Zoom mechanism
Example: When it is set to [ ] (equal to 3.1 million pixels), it will take the picture using
the 3.1 million pixels in the center out of the 12 million pixels of the imaging device,
resulting to be more of a telephoto picture.
Note
“EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended Optical Zoom”.
When the Extended Optical Zoom is used, angle of view for still pictures will be different from
the angle of view for motion pictures because the zoom factor is different between them. Angle
of view for recording can be checked beforehand by matching the [ REC AREA] (P141)
setting to the mode you wish to record in.
If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
When using the Digital Zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective.
When using the Digital Zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P77) for taking
pictures.
The AF Mode is fixed to [Ø] when using the Digital Zoom.
The Extended Optical Zoom cannot be used in the following cases.
