• Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates the zoom position). The color of the zoom bar will change depending on the zoom range. - White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear grainy. - Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably grainy (ZoomPlus). - Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy. Because the blue range will not be available at some resolution settings (=47), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by following step 1. • Focal length when optical and digital zoom are combined is as follows (35mm film equivalent). 24 - 480 mm (24 - 120 mm with optical zoom alone) • To deactivate digital zoom, press the button, choose [Digital Zoom] on the [4] tab, and then choose [Off]. Still Images Shooting at Preset Focal Lengths (Step Zoom) Movies You can shoot at preset focal lengths of 24, 28, 35, 50, 85, 100 or 120 mm (35mm film equivalent). This is convenient when you want to shoot at the angle of view of those focal lengths. zzTo change the focal length from 24 to 28 mm, turn the ring counterclockwise until it clicks. Keep turning the ring to increase the focal length, which changes to 35, 50, 85, 100, and 120 mm at each click. • Step zoom is not available when shooting movies, so turning the ring has no effect. • When you are using digital zoom (=36), you cannot adjust the zoom factor by turning the ring counterclockwise. However, you can set the focal length to 120 mm by turning it clockwise.
