3.1.8 Using the Digital Zoom
Using a combination of 3X optical zoom and 4X digital zoom permits zoom photography up
to 12X to suit the subject and the distance. Digital zoom is a useful feature; however, the more
an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more pixelated (grainy) the image will appear.

] button to switch between the following modes.
2. Compose the image.
3. Press the shutter down halfway, and then press it down fully.
3.1.10 Adjusting the EV
The EV (exposure value) enables you to lighten or darken an image. Use this setting when the
brightness between the subject and the background is not balanced, or when the subject
occupies only a small part of the photograph.
1. In Snapshot Mode, make sure Shooting Mode is set to [Auto] or [Manual]. For more
information on setting Shooting Mode, refer to 3.1.4 “Setting Shooting Mode” on page 7.
2. Press the [
] button. The EV adjustment bar will be displayed on the bottom of the
LCD monitor.
3. By default, the EV is 0. It can be adjusted between -2.0 to +2.0.
