Basic shooting functions
Zooming in on your subject
You can zoom in on your subject using the optical zoom and digital zoom. With the
optical zoom, the image is enlarged on the CCD when the lens magnification is
changed, and the image is formed by all the CCD pixels. With the digital zoom, the
area at the center of the image captured by the CCD is cropped and enlarged.
Because digital zoom takes a small area of the picture and enlarges it, the picture
becomes grainy as the digital zoom magnification increases.
The following zoom magnifications are available on this camera.
Optical zoom 3× (equivalent to 38 mm to 114 mm on a 35 mm
camera)
Optical zoom × digital zoom Max. 15× ([n] mode: Max. 9×)
Note that camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications.
1 Push or pull the zoom lever.
