Digital Zoom
Using digital zoom, images can be enlarged even beyond the extent of the optical zoom so
that the subject appears even closer. As the lens reaches the extent of its optical zoom
range, digital zoom can be utilized. To use the digital zoom it must be enabled in the
photography setup menu. Once enabled, you may use digital zoom by first extending the
lens to its fullest extent. Then press the (T) telephoto button so zoom digitally in a
sequence of steps up to 4X. Pressing the (W) wide-angle button to zoom out. Whereas
digital zoom is a compelling feature, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more
pixilated (grainier) the image will appear.
Zoom photography up to a maximum of 40X is possible using the 10X optical zoom and 4X
digital zoom.
