Taking Pictures with the Zoom
Using the optical zoom /
the extended optical zoom (EZ)
You can make people and subjects appear
closer with the 3 times optical zoom, and
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle.
(35 mm lm camera equivalent: 33 mm to
100 mm)
To record in wider angle without
deteriorating (Extended optical zoom),
do not set the picture size to the highest
setting for each aspect ratio (
h/ /
j)
To make subjects appear closer use
(Tele)
Rotate the zoom lever towards Tele.
To make subjects appear further
away use (Wide)
Rotate the zoom lever towards Wide.
Maximum Zoom
When the picture size is set except at the
highest resolution, optical zoom becomes
extended optical zoom to enlarge more.
Enlargement : Max. 4.8 ×
Maximum zoom magni cation varies
depending on the aspect ratio as follows.

How the extended optical zoom
works
The extended optical zoom works by
extracting the center of the picture and
expanding it for a higher telephoto effect.
So, for example, if you choose [
] (3M
EZ) (3 million pixels), the 8M (8.1 million)
CCD area is cropped to the center 3M (3
million pixels) area, allowing a picture with
a higher zoom effect.
The optical zoom is set to Wide (1 ×)
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 [i], the zoom
magni cation is xed to the value set at
the start of recording.
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 [ ] is displayed on the
screen when you use the zoom function.
The zoom will stop moving for an instant
near [W] (1 ×) when the extended optical
zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.
The indicated zoom magni cation is an
approximation.
The extended optical zoom cannot be
activated in the following modes.
