Moving the zoom lever will display the zoom bar (which indicates
the zoom position). The color of the zoom bar will change depending
on the zoom range.
- White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear
grainy.
- Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably
grainy (ZoomPlus).
- Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.
Because the blue range will not be available at some resolution
settings (= 43), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by
following step 1.
•
Focal length when optical and digital zoom are combined is as follows (35mm
film equivalent).
24 – 480 mm (24 – 120 mm with optical zoom alone)

To deactivate digital zoom, press the <n> button, choose [Digital Zoom]
on the [4] tab, and then choose [Off].
