Using the Zoom
Use the zoom buttons to activate optical zoom.
Press t to zoom out, increasing the area visible in
the frame, or v to zoom in so that the subject fills a
larger area of the frame.
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum magnification (3×), holding
down v triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4×, for a total
magnification of 12×.
A monitor indicator shows the current zoom ratio.

Digital Zoom
Unlike optical zoom, data from the camera’s image sensor are processed digitally with digital
zoom. Details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly
“grainy” image.
