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 (

=

36

), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by

following step 1.

Zoomed images may look grainy under some resolution settings
(

=

36

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

in blue.

Focal length when optical and digital zoom are combined is as follows (35mm
film equivalent).
28 – 1792 mm (28 – 448 mm with optical zoom alone)

To deactivate digital zoom, press the <

n> button, choose [Digital Zoom]

on the [

4] tab, and then choose [Off].
