Using the Step Zoom
When the step zooming function is set to ON in SETUP Mode, the optical zooming focal
length can be fixed to any of four levels (28, 35, 50, and 85 mm as converted equivalent to 35
mm).

Digital zooming enables you to enlarge the subject more than the maximum magnification
(x4.0) that can be specified by pressing the z (Telephoto) button (up to x3.0).
For digital zooming, release the z button once when the zoom reaches the limit on the z
(Tele) end on the Zoom Bar, and then hold the button down again.
