[E. Zoom] checkbox, direction buttons and image map
The [E. Zoom] checkbox allows you to enable or disable electronic zoom. Checking the box displays the direction buttons
and image map. The preview screen is enlarged two times.
The image map is a white rectangle. The gray area in the rectangle indicates the portion being enlarged. You can move
the enlarged portion by directly clicking on the desired location on the image map or by indirectly using four direction
buttons up, down, left or right.
Clearing the [E. Zoom] checkbox ends electronic zooming. The direction buttons and image map disappear. The normal
preview screen is back.

the size of the preview image will also change accordingly.
Note: The screen is temporarily cluttered if you change the camera mode from the menu while you are viewing the preview
image. Wait some time until the image is properly displayed with the new mode.
