Solution
If you cannot shoot the subject up close with the optical zoom, please consider the following.
When distant subjects are too far away to enlarge using the optical zoom, use digital zoom for up to about 32x enlargement.
1. Turn the zoom ring.
- Turn and hold the ring in the arrow direction until zooming stops.
- Zooming stops at the largest possible zoom factor (before the image becomes noticeably grainy), which is then indicated on the screen.
2. Turn the zoom ring in the same direction again.
- The camera zooms in even closer on the subject.
-
is the current zoom factor.
IMPORTANT
- Turning the zoom ring will display the zoom bar (which indicates the zoom position). The color of the zoom bar will change depending on the zoom range.
-- White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear grainy.
-- Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably grainy (ZoomPlus).
-- Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.
- Because the blue range will not be available at some resolution settings, the maximum zoom factor can be achieved by following step 1.
- The [Digital Zoom] cannot be used in the following modes:
[Creative Shot] (
), [Self Portrait] (
), [Low Light] (
), [Fish-eye Effect] (
), [Miniature Effect] (
), [Toy Camera Effect] (
), [Soft Focus] (
), [Monochrome] (
)
NOTE
- Focal length when optical and digital zoom are combined is as follows (35mm film equivalent).
Depending on how you have set the number of recording pixels and the magnification of the [Digital zoom], the [Zoom bar] may be displayed in yellow (ZoomPlus).
To shoot with the [Digital zoom] without causing the image quality to degrade, please shoot within the range of the ZoomPlus.
