Snapshot Tutorial

NOTE

• The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the

camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image

deterioration (page 49).

• 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.

• Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical

zoom setting before you press [0] (Movie) to start movie recording.

If you hold the zoom controller towards z (Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop

when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom

controller and then holding it again towards z (Telephoto) will switch to digital

zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.

• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.

• An image deterioration icon (Ù) will appear on the monitor screen at the point

where image deterioration starts.
