You can combine digital zoom with optical zoom when shooting.
The available shooting characteristics and focal lengths (35mm film
equivalent) are as follows.
Selection Focal Length Shooting Characteristics
Standard
35- 560 mm Enables shooting at zoom factors of
up to 16x with digital and optical
zoom combined.
Off
35-140 mm Enables shooting without digital
zoom.
1.5x
52.5 - 210 mm Digital zoom is fixed at the selected
zoom factor, and the focal length
1.9x 66.5-266 mm
shifts to the telephoto end. This
enables a faster shutter speed and
less chance of camera shake than a
shot taken at the same angle of view
with [Standard] or [Off].
