Using the Zoom Function
Your camera has a combination of optical and digital zoom functions that allow you to
zoom in on far away subjects or zoom out for a wide angle shot.
The optical zoom is achieved by mechanically adjusting the lens of the camera. The
digital zoom enlarges or shrinks the image using a software process.
Digital zoom works by enlarging
the center portion of an image
through a software interpolation
process. The digital zoom is used
to achieve magnification levels
up to 4X.
In Photo mode, press T to zoom
in. Continue pressing T until the
digital zoom indicator is displayed.
Press T to digitally zoom in on a
subject in increments of 0.2X.
NOTES:
• The digital zoom does not work in Video
mode.
• In Photo mode, you can zoom in and out in
steps of 0.2X.
• In Playback mode, you can zoom in and out
in steps of 0.1X.
