Using the Zoom Function
Your camera has a combination of optical and digital zoom functions that allow you to
zoom in on far away subjects or zoom out for a wide angle shot.
The optical zoom is achieved by mechanically adjusting the lens of the camera. The
digital zoom enlarges or shrinks the image using a software process.
Digital zoom works by enlarging the
center portion of an image through a
software interpolation process. The
digital zoom is used to achieve
magnification levels up to 4X.
In Photo mode, press T to zoom in.
Continue pressing T until the digital
zoom indicator is displayed. Press T to
digitally zoom in on a subject in
increments of 0.2X.
