shooting at low shutter speeds. Use a tripod to shoot under

these conditions.

Shooting Mode

Option Focal Length Characteristics

Standard 39 – 1560 mm

You can shoot at a maximum zoom factor

of approximately 40x using a combination

of the optical and digital zoom features.

Off 39 – 390 mm Shoots without using the digital zoom.

1.5x 58.5 — 585 mm

Digital zoom is fixed at the selected zoom

factor, and the focal length shifts to

maximum telephoto. This enables a

faster shutter speed and less chance of

camera shake than a shot taken at the

same angle of view with [Standard] or

[Off].

1.9x 74.1 — 741 mm

This function cannot be set when Aspect Ratio is set to

[16:9].
