What is Extended 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 10 M (equivalent to 10.1 million pixels) area, meaning
that the picture can be enlarged further.
The enlargement ratio displayed in the bar on screen is an estimate.
In certain recording modes, TELE MACRO function (P.45) 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 coloring 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.
When using extended optical zoom, zoom movement may stop momentarily near
maximum W (1x), but this is not a fault.
Extended optical zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
‘MACRO ZOOM’, motion picture, ‘TRANSFORM’, ‘HIGH SENS.’, ‘HI-SPEED BURST’,
‘FLASH BURST’, ‘PIN HOLE’, and ‘FILM GRAIN’ scene modes
‘ZOOM RESUME’ (P.24) allows zoom ratio to be memorized even if power is turned off.
Enlarging further ‘DIGITAL ZOOM’
Zoom 4 times further than optical/extended optical zoom (maximum 48 x – 85.5 x).
(Note that, with digital zoom, enlarging will lessen picture quality.)
Display REC menu Select ‘ON’
Select ‘DIGITAL ZOOM’ Finish
Digital zoom area is displayed within zoom bar on screen.
Digital zoom area
e.g. With 48x
• Zoom motion stops momentarily when entering
digital zoom range.
• Within digital zoom range, AF area is displayed
larger when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
• We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer
(P.48).
Digital zoom cannot be used in the following modes:
(INTELLIGENT AUTO Mode), (CLIPBOARD Mode), Scene Modes (‘SPORTS’,
‘BABY’, ‘PET’, ‘HIGH SENS.’, ‘HI-SPEED BURST’, ‘FLASH BURST’, ‘PIN HOLE’, and
‘FILM GRAIN’), when ‘INTELLIGENT ISO’ is not set to ‘OFF’
