• Refer to P79 for aspect ratio settings, P80
for picture size and P31 for simple mode
[ ].
• "EZ" is an abbreviation of
[Extra optical Zoom].
• You can further enhance the zoom
magnification with the extra optical zoom
without worrying about further picture
distortion.
• If you set a picture size that activates the
extra optical zoom, the extra optical zoom
icon [ ] is displayed on the screen when
you use the zoom function.
• The indicated zoom magnification is an
approximation.
• The on-screen zoom indication may not
change consecutively if you rotate the
zoom lever near the Tele position when
the extra optical zoom is used. This is not
a malfunction.
• In motion picture mode [
[HIGH SENS.] in scene mode, the extra
optical zoom does not work.

Further extending the zoom
A maximum of 48k zoom can be achieved
with the 12k optical zoom and the 4k
digital zoom when [D.ZOOM] is set to [ON]
in the [REC] menu. However, if a picture
size that can use extra optical zoom is
selected, a maximum of 66k zoom can be
achieved with the 16.5k extra optical zoom
and the 4k digital zoom.
