Adjusting Zoom - Sony Ericsson FOMA SO905iCS Manual

Adjusting Zoom

You can adjust the zoom of an image while recording with the Out-camera. To up to
about 3.0x magnification, the optical zoom is used. For greater magnification, you
can use the digital zoom. Moreover, the Smart zoom function is available, which
allows you to record an image with minimum degradation of the image quality even
if the magnification is out of the optical zoom range. The maximum magnification of
the Smart zoom changes depending on the settings of the image size or whether
the Shoot mode is set to [High sensitivity]. The zoom magnifications which can be
adjusted at each image size are follows.
 The maximum magnification includes 3.0x magnification (9 levels) of the optical zoom.
When recording a still image
■: The Smart zoom range where the degradation in the image quality is held to the
minimum
■: The regular digital zoom range where the image quality is degraded
