Quick Overview
48× digital zoom
Turn the digital zoom on by choosing D.ZOOM from the camera menu, to
magnify the camera’s zoom range by 4×.
Zooming
The camera’s 12× zoom lens allows you to choose the best picture angle for each
scene:
• Move the zoom control towards W to zoom out to wide-angle.
• Move it towards T to zoom in to telephoto.
You can also control the speed of zooming:
• Move the control slightly to zoom slowly.
• Move it farther to zoom more quickly. (The farther you move the zoom control,
the faster the zoom speed.)
The T and W buttons on the wireless controller adjust the picture angle, but not
the zoom speed.

The zoom control continues to work as usual. You can freely zoom in and out
between 1× and 48× magnification — the camera automatically switches between
optical zooming (up to 12×) and digital zooming (12× to 48×). A zoom bar shows
up in the display. The digital zoom area is in blue.
• When zooming, as a rule, keep at least 3 ft 3
3
/8 in (1 m) between you and your
subject. However when the zoom is at the wide-angle position, you can focus
on a subject as close as
3
/8 in (1 cm).
• Image resolution is slightly lower when the magnification is greater than 12×.
• You cannot use the digital zoom with the multi-image screen.
• When digital zoom is turned off, the zoom bar shortens to optical zoom length.
