VIDEO RECORDING & PLAYBACK Digital zoom zone 10x (Optical) zoom zone Approximate zoom ratio Deleting Files If you press during recording mode, the file recorded most recently will be deleted. (੬ pg. 40) ● However, if the recording mode (video, still image or voice) is switched or the power is turned off and on again after recording, you cannot delete the file. ● The further you slide the zoom lever, the quicker the zoom action. ● Zoom magnification over 10x is done through digital image processing, and is therefore called digital zoom. Digital zooming is possible up to 200x. Set [ZOOM] to [40X] or [200X]. (੬ pg. 50) NOTES: ● Focusing may become unstable during zooming. In this case, set the zoom before recording and lock the focus by using the manual focus (੬ pg. 33), then zoom in or out during recording. ● During digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer. ● Macro shooting is possible as close as approx. 5 cm (2") to the subject when the zoom lever is set all the way to W. ● When you zoom into a subject close to the lens, the camera may automatically zoom out depending on the distance to the subject. In this case, set [TELE MACRO] to [ON]. (੬ pg. 50)
