Shooting with Zoom

Your camera provides you with 24X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal
distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally
processes the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of
24X to 172.8X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 40).
