Zooming In Closer on Subjects (Digital Zoom)

When distant subjects are too far away to enlarge using the optical zoom,
use digital zoom for up to about 20x enlargement.

subject.

Zoom Factor

Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates
the zoom position). The color of the zoom bar will change depending
on 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 resolution
settings (

=

50

), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by

following step 1.

Zoomed images may look grainy under some resolution settings
(

=

50

) and zoom factors. In this case, the zoom factor is shown

in blue.

To deactivate digital zoom, choose MENU (

=

26

) > [

4] tab > [Digital

Zoom] > [Off] (

=

26

).
