rotating the zoom lever to Tele or releasing the zoom lever once and then rotating it to Tele
again.
■ Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [[^] (3 million pixels), the 10M (10,1 million pixels)
(DMC-FS5)/8WI (8.1 million pixels) {DIV1C-FS3) CCD area is cropped to the center 3M
(3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.
