Use the
button to frame the subject in the moni-
tor. Press
to zoom out, increasing the area visible in the
frame. Press
to zoom in up to 5 × so that the subject
fi lls a larger area of the frame. Pressing
for about two
seconds at 5 × zoom will trigger digital zoom, allowing the
subject to be magnifi ed up to 4 × more, for a total of magni-
fi cation of 20 ×. Note that unlike optical zoom, digital zoom
does not increase the amount of detail visible in the picture.
Instead, details visible at 5 × zoom are simply enlarged, pro-
ducing a slightly “grainy” image.
