2 digital zoom
Activate the digital zoom to double the camera's zoom range.
The zoom control continues to work as usual — the camera automatically switches between optical
zooming and digital zooming.
• Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification exceeds the optical zoom range.
Activating the digital zoom
1. Turn the POWER dial to any recording program.
2. Press the D.E./BARS 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.E./BARS 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.E./BARS ON/OFF button to
deactivate it. When deactivated, D.ZOOM flashes in the viewfinder and you can then
press the D.E./BARS SELECT button to select a different digital effect, or to turn the
digital effects off completely by choosing the blank display.
Notes:
• You cannot select a different digital effect while the digital zoom is still activated.
• The digital zoom remains programmed until you turn it off.
