Basics 2 Taking pictures with zoom Subjects can be enlarged by ten times with 'Optical zoom' and up to 15 (13.8 ) times with 'Extended optical zoom'. 'Digital zoom' can then be used to multiply this effect by four times further.

What is Extended optical zoom (EZ)? If, for example, set to '3M EZ' (equivalent to 3 million pixels), a picture will only be taken of a 3M-sized central part of a 7M (equivalent to 7.2 million pixels) 3 area, meaning that the picture can be enlarged further. 3 DMC-TZ2: 6M Entering digital zoom area Once the bar stops before the digital zoom area, continue to hold the zoom lever, or release it once Digital zoom area Bar stops momentarily then push it again. To recall zoom ratio from time power was turned off 'ZOOM RESUME' (P.20) The enlargement ratio displayed in the bar on screen is an estimate. Adjust the focus after adjusting the zoom. Do not block the lens barrel (P.12) movement while zooming. Zoom cannot be adjusted during motion picture recording. A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures of close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more coloring appearing around the outlines of objects. The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated - this is not a fault. When using extended optical zoom, zoom movement may stop momentarily near maximum W (1x), but this is not a fault. The Optical image stabilizer may be less effective when using digital zoom. It is recommended that you use a tripod and the self-timer (P.35). 27 VQT1B61
