• 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
[[]M]
(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 10M (10.1
million) (DMC-LZ10)
or
8M
(8.1
million)
(DMC-LZ8) 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
x)
when the camera is turned on.
• When using the zoom function, an
estimate of the focus range will appear
in conjunction with the zoom display bar.
(Example: 0.99 ft-oo)
• 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
[lEI],
the zoom
magnification is fixed 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
x) when the extended optical
zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• The extended optical zoom cannot be
activated in the following modes.
- Motion picture mode
