39 Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
2. Press Zoom In again and
continue to press it until you
reach the desired size in the
Image Display. A yellow frame
surrounds the area of the
image that will be captured,
and the image enlarges in the
yellow frame.
The resolution number on the right side of the screen also
becomes smaller as you digitally zoom. For example,
4.3MP appears in place of 5MP, indicating that the
image is being reduced to a size of 4.3 Megapixels.
3. When the image is at the desired size, press the Shutter
button halfway down to lock focus and exposure, and
then press it all the way down to take the picture.
To turn digital zoom off and return to optical zoom, press
Zoom Out on the Zoom lever until digital zooming
stops. Release Zoom Out , and then press it again.
NOTE: Digital zoom is not available while recording
video clips.
NOTE: Digital zoom reduces the resolution of an image,
so your picture will tend to be more grainy than the
same image taken with optical zoom. If you intend to
e-mail an image or post it to a website, this loss of
resolution will probably not be noticeable; but in
situations where you need higher quality (such as for
printing), limit the use of digital zoom. It is also
recommended that you use a tripod to hold the
camera steady when using digital zoom.
