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 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]
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
for taking
pictures.
