Extended Optical Zoom mechanism
When you set the Picture Size to [
] (3 million pixels), the 12M (12.1 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 in Auto Scene Mode [
].
• 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.
• 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 using the Digital Zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer
(P49)
for taking
pictures.

– In [HIGH SENS.], [HI-SPEED BURST] or [FLASH BURST] in Scene Mode
– In Motion Picture Mode
