Digital and Optical Zooming
You can zoom in and out for close-up or wide-angle
shots by moving the zoom lever. Optical zooming is
possible up to 3 times, and digital zooming allows
up to 4 times normal magnification.
Using the Zoom Lever (W and T)
To zoom in tight (telephoto) or out wide (wide
angle), rotate the zoom lever to either T or W.
Optical zoom is the natural, non-enhanced
magnification the camera’s lens will support. This
camera has an optical zoom of 3 times (3X).
With digital zooming, it is possible to zoom beyond
the limits of the optical zoom to capture images at a
maximum of 4 times normal magnification. There are
two settings when using digital zoom: 2X and 4X.
When zooming past the 3X optical zoom and into
digital, you must view the image using the LCD
monitor on the back of the camera, not the optical
viewfinder. Keep in mind that the optical viewfinder
only shows images within the 3X zoom range.
Once the limits of the 3X optical viewfinder are
reached, the camera beeps once. If you continue to
zoom, the camera beeps twice to indicate the 2X
digital zoom setting. If the LCD monitor is off, it
automatically turns on, as this will be the only
indication of what you are capturing. The digital
zoom indication (2X or 4X) then appears on the
monitor. You can continue to zoom up to 4X.
When you zoom back to wide angle, the camera
beeps to remind you to return to viewing the image
using the optical viewfinder.
