The magnification level differs depending on [Picture Size] and [Aspect Ratio] setting.

When [FSH], [FHD] is selected, there will be no enlarging with the Extended Tele Conversion
(1k).

Note
•
When the Extended Tele Conversion is used, angle of view for still pictures will be different from
the angle of view for motion pictures because the zoom factor is different between them. Angle
of view for recording can be checked beforehand by matching the [Rec Area] (P158) setting to
the mode you wish to record in.
• When using the Digital Zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P88) for taking
pictures.

– When [Quality] is set to [ ], [ ] or [ ]
