Tip
The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the more small
movements of the camera are magnified (this is called camera shake). If
appears when you press the
Shutter
button halfway down, the picture may
be blurry. Be sure to hold the camera still or add more light to the scene. Try
holding the camera closer to your body or against a steady object, or set the
camera on a tripod or stable surface.

Digital zoom
In digital zoom, the Image Display shows a yellow frame around the scene and the image
quality setting (MP value). As you zoom in, the yellow frame shrinks to indicate the area
of the scene the camera will capture, and the MP value decreases to indicate the
resolution at which the scene will be captured.
When capturing images using digital zoom, make sure that the MP value shown in the
Image Display is appropriate for the size at which you want to print the captured image.
For MP values and their recommended print sizes, see
