Extended Optical Zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [
] (3 million pixels), the 14M (14.1 million pixels) CCD
area is cropped to the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a picture with a higher
zoom effect.
Note
•
The Digital Zoom cannot be set when
õ
has been selected.
•
The indicated zoom magnification is an approximation.
•
“EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended Optical Zoom”.
•
The Optical Zoom is set to Wide (1
k
) when the camera is turned on.
Zoom position is as when the power was turned off if the [ZOOM RESUME]
(P33)
is set to
[ON].
•
If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
•
The lens barrel extends or retracts according to the zoom position. Take care not to interrupt
the motion of the lens barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.
•
When you rotate the zoom lever, you may hear some sound from the camera or the camera
may shake. This is not a malfunction.
•
When using the Digital Zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective.
•
When using the Digital Zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the Self-Timer
(P75)
for taking
pictures.
•
[I.RESOLUTION] is fixed to [i.ZOOM] in Intelligent Auto Mode or Scene Mode
