Zooming W Zoom out T W Zoom in E T Mastering the Basics 12× optical zoom The camera's 12× zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each scene: • Turn the zoom control down towards W to zoom out to wide-angle. • Turn it up towards T to zoom in to telephoto. You can also control the speed of zooming: • Move the control slightly to zoom slowly. • Turn it farther to zoom more quickly. (The farther you turn the zoom control, the faster the zoom speed.) The T and W buttons on the wireless controller adjust the picture angle, but not the zoom speed. 48× digital zoom Turn the digital zoom on by choosing D.ZOOM from the camera menu, to magnify the camera's zoom range by 4×. (see p. 30) D.ZOOM ON The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out between 1× and 48× magnification - the camera automatically switches between optical zooming (up to 12×) and digital zooming (12× to 48×). A zoom bar shows up in the display. The digital zoom area is in blue. Notes: • When you want to get as close as possible to your subject, keep the zoom at the wide-angle position. You can focus on a subject as close as 3/8 in (1 cm). • Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than 12×. • You cannot use the digital zoom with the multi-image screen. • When digital zoom is turned off, the zoom bar shortens to optical zoom length. 17
