DIGITAL ZOOM
This feature allows you to increase the magnification of the image at the center of the screen up
to 2 or 8 times greater than the extreme telephoto position.
1. Press "ZOOM MODE" button to select "ZM:1" or "ZM:2". The display in the viewfinder will
change as follows each time the button is pressed.
2. Press and hold "T" side of the power zoom switch. The digital zoom functions from the
extremely telephoto position of X8.
• "ZM:1" enlarges the image from X8 to X16.
• "ZM:2" enlarges the image from X8 to X64 and adds mosaic special effect.
• "ZM:2 with 16X9" enlarges the image from X8 to X64 and adds mosaic special effect. It also
reduces the image width so the playback picture will just fit into a 16X9 TV screen.
Note: Recording in the "ZM:2 with 16X9" mode allows playback on a tv with a 16:9 aspect ratio If
you play it on a conventional TV with the 4:3 aspect ratio, the picture becomes thinner.
You can control the digital enlargement ratio by pressing the "T" or "W" side of the power zoom
switch. When the zoom ratio falls below X8, the normal zooming function is restored.
NOTE: If you select a zoom ratio over X8, it is displayed, in the viewfinder. At X36, for example,
"X36" is displayed.
