Zooming In Closer on Subjects (Digital Zoom)

When distant subjects are too far away to enlarge using the optical zoom,
use digital zoom for up to about 120x enlargement.
( 1 )
● 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 ( = 37), the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by
following step 1.
