BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
67
■ To record an image using digital zoom
1. In a REC mode, hold
the zoom controller
towards (telephoto)
/ side.
• This causes the zoom
indicator to appear on the
display.
2. When the zoom pointer reaches the optical/
digital zoom switch over point, it will stop.
• The above shows what the zoom indicator looks like
when digital zoom is turned on (page 68). The digital
zoom range is not displayed when digital zoom is
turned off.
Digital Zoom
Digital zoom digitally enlarges the part of the image at the
center of the image screen. The range of digital zoom is 5X
to 40X (in combination with optical zoom).
IMPORTANT!
• When you perform a digital zoom operation, the
camera manipulates the image data to enlarge the
center of the image. Unlike optical zoom, an image
enlarged with digital zoom appears coarser than the
original.
