Using the zoom feature

The optical zoom lets you take telephoto and wide-angle pictures.
You can also enlarge pictures as much as 3 times the normal size
using the optical zoom.

The digital zoom lets you take telephoto or enlarged pictures as
much as 13.2 times the normal picture enlargement. The camera
combines the 3x optical zoom with the 4.4x digital zoom to increase
the camera’s digital zoom capabilities.

For more information, see the FAQ “Q: What is the difference
between optical zoom and digital zoom?” on page 74.

Tips & Tricks

more sensitive to camera movement. If the shutter

unsteady hold warning icon

is displayed. You

may want to use a tripod to steady the camera.

Tips & Tricks

The more the picture subject is enlarged with the
digital zoom, the more pixelated (grainy) the image
is in the picture.
