Magnified Recording
(Optical Zoom and
Digital Zoom)
The zoom lever allows you to choose
a range of magnifications from wide-
angle to telephoto zooming.
Optical zooming up to ten times is the
maximum telephoto magnification.
When using a card (recording stills),
only optical zoom works.
Maximum zoom values will depend
on the "Digital Zoom" settings.
