Zooming In Closer on Subjects (Digital Zoom)

Still Images

Movies

When distant subjects are too far away to enlarge using the optical zoom,

use digital zoom for up to about 160x enlargement.

1

Move the zoom lever toward [ ].

Hold the lever until zooming stops.

Zooming stops at the largest possible

zoom factor (before the image becomes

noticeably grainy), which is then indicated

on the screen.

2

Move the zoom lever toward [ ]

again.

The camera zooms in even closer on the

subject.

(1) is the current zoom factor.

Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates

the zoom position). The zoom bar is color-coded to indicate the

zoom range.

-

White range: optical zoom range where the image will not

appear grainy.

-

Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not

noticeably grainy (ZoomPlus).

-

Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear

grainy.

Because the blue range will not be available at some recording

pixel settings (= 49), the maximum zoom factor can be

achieved by following step 1.

On-Screen Frames

Still Images

Movies

In [

] mode, a variety of frames are displayed once the camera

detects subjects you are aiming the camera at.

A white frame is displayed around the subject (or person’s face)

determined by the camera to be the main subject, and gray frames

are displayed around other detected faces. Frames follow moving

subjects within a certain range to keep them in focus. However, if the

camera detects subject movement, only the white frame will remain on

the screen.

When you are pressing the shutter button halfway and the camera

detects subject movement, a blue frame is displayed, and the focus

and image brightness are constantly adjusted (Servo AF).

Depending on the scene or subject, no frames may be displayed,
frames may not displayed around desired subjects, or frames may
be displayed on the background or similar areas. Try shooting in
[ ] mode (= 70).
