Use the zoom button to take pictures when you are at events such as sports meets or talks 

where you cannot get close to your subject, or when you want to compose a wide-angle 

shot of distant scenery.

Pressing the 

T

 side of the zoom button enlarges the image (telephoto).

Pressing the 

W

 side returns the zoomed image to its original size and lets you include a 

larger area in the shot (wide angle).

As well as an optical zoom that changes the image magnification using the lens, this 

camera also features a digital zoom that uses electronic control to enlarge the image. 

Though this gives reduced image quality, the digital zoom in combination with the optical 

zoom provides magnifications up to 9.6

 in the "

C

" mode or "

N

" mode, and enlarges 

images up to 6

 in "

M

" mode.

To use the digital zoom, press the 

T

 side of the zoom button to zoom in fully on the 

subject, then briefly release the zoom button and press it again.

Using the Zoom Button – 

Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom

1

Press the 

T

 side of the zoom button 

until the image is fully zoomed.

When you press the zoom button, the zoom bar 

appears at the bottom of the screen.

The indicator in the zoom bar moves right as you 

zoom in and left as you zoom out.

The zoom bar remains on the screen for roughly 2 

seconds after you stop pressing the zoom button.

• The digital zoom bar disappears when you turn the digital 

zoom off (

 p.4-25).

Briefly release the zoom button and 

then press the 

T

 side of the zoom 

button again.

The image is enlarged sequentially by

1.6, 

2.0, 

2.5 and 

3.2. (up to 2
