28X Hyper zoom
Digital circuitry doubles the
maximum 14x magnification offered
by optical zoom.
1) To zoom in, slide the Zoom Lever
toward "T".
2) To zoom out, slide toward "W".
Shift Zoom
By digitally processing and magnify-
ing images, zooming is possible from
5 – 14 times the optical zoom limit,
to a maximum of 140x magnifica-
tion.
1) Set the Shooting Mode Selector to
"PRESET" and press MENU to
access the Main Menu screen.
2) Press + or – to move the highlight
bar to "Shift Zoom."
3) Press FAR or NEAR to set the
magnification. "50x" magnifies
wide-angle images to
approximately 3.6 times the
original size, and enables zooming
in the 18x – 50x range. "140x"
magnifies wide-angle images to
approximately 10 times the
original size, and allows zooming
from 50x to 140x. To disable Shift
Zoom, set it to "OFF". "140x" is
useful when you want to confirm
letters or numbers from a distance.
4) Press MENU to close the Main
Menu screen.
During Hyper Zoom, the speed
increases the further you slide the
Zoom Lever.
Focusing may be come unstable
during Hyper Zoom. In this case,
set the zoom while in Record –
Standby, set manual focus or Focus
Lock ( pg. 24, 25), then zoom in
or out in Record mode.
The Zoom Level Indicator ( 5 ) only
moves during optical zoom. Once
the indicator reaches "T", all
magnification from that point is
through digital processing.
During digital image processing,
the quality of the image may suffer.
