Zoom
Telephoto and wide-angle shooting are possible at 10× magnification (the
optical zoom limit, equivalent to 42 mm – 420 mm on a 35 mm camera). When
taking still pictures, you can increase zoom magnification to a maximum of
approximately 30× by combining the optical zoom with the digital zoom.
During movie recording, the digital zoom magnification is 2.5×.
Camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications. Stabilize the
camera with a tripod, etc. to avoid camera movement.
