Basic
Types of zooms
• When using the zoom function, an estimate of the focus range will appear in conjunction
with the zoom display bar. (Example:
0.5 m (1.64 ft.) –
)
¢
The magnification level differs depending on [PICTURE SIZE] and [ASPECT RATIO] setting.
Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [
] (3 million pixels), the 12M (12.1 million pixels) CCD
area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher
zoom effect.
Note
• The digital zoom cannot be set when
õ
has been selected.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.
• “EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended Optical Zoom”.
• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1
k
) 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.
• When using the digital zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective.
When using the digital zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P47) for taking pictures.
• The extended optical zoom cannot be used in the following cases.
– In Macro Zoom Mode
– In [TRANSFORM], [HIGH SENS.], [HI-SPEED BURST], [FLASH BURST], [PIN HOLE] or
[FILM GRAIN] in Scene Mode
– In Motion Picture Mode
• [DIGITAL ZOOM] cannot be used in the following cases.
– In [TRANSFORM], [SPORTS], [BABY1]/[BABY2], [PET], [HIGH SENS.],
[HI-SPEED BURST], [FLASH BURST], [PIN HOLE] or [FILM GRAIN] in Scene Mode
– When [INTELLIGENT ISO] is set
