Auto Focus Restrictions • Proper focus may not be possible when shooting the following types of subjects. - Solid color wall or other very low contrast subject - Strongly back lit subject - Very shiny subject - Blinds or other subject with a repeating horizontal pattern - Multiple subjects at varying distances from the camera - Subject in a dark location - Subject that is too far away for light from the AF assist lamp to reach - Fast-moving subject - Subjects outside the focus range of the camera • Proper focus may not be possible if the camera is moved while shooting. • An image may be out of focus even though the operation lamp is lit green and the focus frame is green. If you cannot focus properly, try using focus lock (page 127) or manual focus (page 129). Shooting with Zoom Your camera provides you with 3X optical zoom (which changes the lens focal distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (which digitally process the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 12 - 45.2X. IMPORTANT! • Generally speaking, the higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the image that is recorded. However, digital zoom can be used up to a certain point without causing deterioration of the image. • Digital zoom is not supported while "Timestamp" (page 141) is turned on. 1. Enter the REC mode.
