[i.Zoom]:
You can use the camera’s intelligent resolution technology to increase the zoom
ratio up to 2x higher than the original zoom ratio with limited deterioration of
picture quality. (Up to 1.5x the original zoom ratio when [Picture Size] is set to
[S]) Set the [i.Zoom] in the [Rec] menu to [ON].

simultaneously with [i.Zoom], you can only increase the zoom ratio up to 2x.

[Digital Zoom] in the [Rec] menu to [ON].
