Activating the digital zoom
1. Turn the POWER dial to any recording program.
2. Press the D.EFFECT SELECT button to move through the list of effects in the viewfinder,
until you reach D.ZOOM.
• The flashing display changes to show which
effect you can select.
• The camera only displays selectable effects.
3. Press the D.EFFECT ON/OFF button to activate the digital zoom.
• D.ZOOM is shown constantly in the viewfinder.
4. The digital zoom will remain activated until you press the D.EFFECT ON/OFF button to
deactivate it. When deactivated, D.ZOOM flashes in the viewfinder and you can then
press the D.EFFECT SELECT button to select a different digital effect, or to turn the
digital effects off completely by choosing the blank display.
