Zooming in More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom) You can use the digital zoom to zoom up to approximately 140x and capture subjects that are too far away for the optical zoom to enlarge.

X The zoom will stop when the largest possible zoom factor without image deterioration has been reached, and the zoom factor will appear when you release the zoom lever. Move it toward i again. X The digital zoom will zoom in even further on the subject. What if the zoom factor appears in blue? Images shot at zoom factors that appear in blue will be coarse. Turning off the digital zoom To turn off the digital zoom, press the n button to choose [Digital Zoom] in the 4 tab, then choose [Off].
