Zooming in More Closely on Subjects (Digital Zoom)
Digital Tele-Converter
The focal length of the lens can be increased by approximately 1.4x or
approximately 2.3x. This enables a faster shutter speed and less chance of
camera shake than the zoom (including digital zoom) used by itself at the
same zoom factor.
However, a recording pixel setting (p. 55) of
appear coarse (the zoom factor will appear in blue).
• The respective focal lengths when using [1.4x] and [2.3x] are
approximately 51.8 – 171 mm and approximately 85.1 – 281 mm (35mm
film equivalent).
• The digital tele-converter cannot be used together with the digital zoom.
• The shutter speeds may be the same when at maximum telephoto (i),
and when zoomed in on the subject using Step 2 on p. 49.
