Taking pictures with zoom (Continued)
Recording Mode:
●
The enlargement ratio displayed in the bar on screen is an estimate.
●
In certain Recording Modes, ‘Tele macro’ function (→49) is activated when maximum
zoom ratio is reached.
●
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 lever is operated -
this is not a fault.
●
Extra Optical Zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
[MACRO ZOOM], motion picture, [TRANSFORM], [HIGH SENS.], [HI-SPEED BURST],
[FLASH BURST], [PIN HOLE], and [PHOTO FRAME] Scene Modes
●
Digital Zoom cannot be used in the following modes:
([INTELLIGENT AUTO] Mode), ([CLIPBOARD] Mode), Scene Modes
([TRANSFORM], [HIGH SENS.], [HI-SPEED BURST], [FLASH BURST], [PIN HOLE],
[FILM GRAIN] and [PHOTO FRAME])
●
[ZOOM RESUME] (→25) allows zoom ratio to be memorised even if power is turned off.

What is Extra Optical Zoom (EZ)?
If, for example, set to ‘3M ’ (equivalent to 3 million pixels), a picture will only be taken
of a 3M-sized central part of a 12 M (equivalent to 12.1 million pixels) area, meaning
that the picture can be enlarged further.
[i.ZOOM]
The camera uses super resolution technology to increase the zoom ratio. Using super
resolution technology, the zoom ratio can be increased up to about 1.3 times higher than
the original zoom ratio with almost no deterioration of picture quality.
