Your camera provides you with 24X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal distance),
which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally processes the center
portion of the image to enlarge it). The image deterioration point depends on the image size.
1.
In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.
2.
Press the shutter button to shoot the image.
IMPORTANT!
•
Digital zoom is disabled while time stamping is turned on.
If you hold the zoom controller towards
(Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop when
the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom controller
and then holding it again towards
(Telephoto) will switch to digital zoom, which you can
use to set an even higher zoom factor.
•
During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.
