Using Zoom

Your camera is equipped with two types of zoom: optical
zoom and digital zoom. Normally, the camera automatically
switches over to digital zoom after you reach the maximum
limit for optical zoom. You can, however, configure the
camera to disable digital zoom, if you want.

Optical Zoom

The optical zoom range is 1X to 5X.
• The optical zoom range when Macro is selected as the
focus mode (page 84) is 1X to 2.25X.
