• Refer to P87 for aspect ratio settings and
P87 for picture size.
• “EZ” is an abbreviation of
“Extended optical Zoom”.
• You can further enhance the zoom
magnification with the extended optical
zoom without worrying about further
picture distortion.
• If you set a picture size that activates the
extended optical zoom, the extended
optical zoom icon [
] is displayed on the
screen when you use the zoom function.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• The on-screen zoom indication may not
change consecutively if you rotate the zoom
ring near the Tele position when the extended
optical zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.
• In motion picture mode [ ] and
[HIGH SENS.] in scene mode, the
extended optical zoom does not work.
The digital zoom can be set to [2 M ] or [4 M ]
with [D.ZOOM] in the [REC] menu and a
maximum of 48
M zoom can be achieved.
However, if a picture size that can use the
extended optical zoom (P87) is selected, a
maximum of 85.5
M zoom can be achieved
with the 21.4 M extended optical zoom and
the 4 M digital zoom.
