Question
The ZOOM
RANGE button
was pressed
during video
recording.
The ZOOM
RANGE button
was pressed while
the digital zoom
was engaged.
Answer
— Because shooting
with the optical
zoom uses the
optics of a physical
lens, you can shoot
without losing
minute details in the
image. The digital
zoom, on the other
hand, works by
magnifying a portion
of the image that
hits the image
sensor and may
produce a coarser
image.
— Set the scene mode
function to the
landscape
mode when
photographing.
Not a malfunction.
During the very brief
span that the zoom
lens is changing, the
recording appears
as a photo.
Not a malfunction.
Use the optical
zoom. The zoom
range cannot be
changed while the
digital zoom is
engaged.
