Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.
Shooting with Zoom Your camera is equipped with various types of zoom: optical zoom, HD Zoom, Single SR Zoom, Multi SR Zoom, and digital zoom. The maximum zoom factor depends on the image size setting and the digital zoom on/off settings. Optical zoom Zooming is performed by changing the lens focal distance, so there is no deterioration of image quality. HD Zoom Allows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the original image and enlarging it, without deterioration of image quality.
NOTE • Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera movement when shooting with telephoto. • Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture. • Zoom operations are supported during movie recording. Zoom operations are disabled during high speed movie recording. To use zoom, perform the zoom operation before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording. • Zoom operations are not supported while shooting with the following feature. The zoom setting is fixed at full wide angle.

Zooming with Super Resolution (Zoom (SR)) There are two types of Super Resolution Zoom: Single SR Zoom and Multi SR Zoom. Single SR Zoom uses super resolution to expand the zoom range in which image quality deterioration is minimized. Multi SR Zoom shoots a series of High Speed CS images, which are then combined into an image that enables shooting at higher zoom ratios without loss of image quality.
Expanding the Zoom Range to Shoot Clearer Snapshots (Multi SR Zoom) This feature uses super resolution technology and multiple Continuous Shutter (CS) images to expand the zoom range for overall images of higher quality and clarity. 1. In the BEST SHOT Mode, select “Multi SR Zoom” (page 89). 2. Press the shutter button to shoot. NOTE • Multi SR Zoom is effective when you want to capture delicate textures. • The following functions are disabled when shooting with Multi SR Zoom.
