Zooming in More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom) You can use the digital zoom to zoom up to a maximum of 80x and capture subjects that are too far away for the optical zoom (p. 24) to enlarge. The images may appear coarse, however, depending on the recording pixel setting (p. 70) and the zoom factor used. Move the zoom lever toward i. ● Hold the lever until zooming stops. X The zoom will stop when the largest possible zoom factor without image deterioration has been reached, and the zoom factor will appear. Move it toward i again. X The digital zoom will zoom in even further on the subject. Zoom Factors at which Images Deteriorate Recording Pixels Optical Zoom (28 - 560 mm)* Digital Zoom (560 - 2240 mm)* 20x 25x 31x 50x 80x : No image deterioration (zoom factor appears white) : Image deterioration (zoom factor appears blue) : Maximum zoom factor without deterioration (Safety Zoom) * Focal length (35mm equivalent) 62
