3.3.7 Using the zoom function
Your camera has a combination of optical and digital zoom functions that allows you to
zoom in on far away subjects or zoom out for a wide angle shot.
The optical zoom is achieved by mechanically adjusting the lens of the camera. The digital
zoom enlarges or shrinks the image using a software process.
1. Make the zoom setting, and point the camera at the subject.
2. Press the zoom button (
W
/
T
) to compose the image.
[W]: zoom out for a wide-angle shot.
[T]: zoom in for a telephoto shot.
•
When the zoom button is pressed, the zoom bar appears on the LCD monitor.
•
When the optical zoom factor is at maximum, zooming stops temporarily. Press the
[T] again, the camera switches to the digital zoom automatically and zooming
continues.
•
You can use optical zoom in movie recording.
3. Press the shutter button to take a picture.
