Reacquire the subject.
Aim the camera so that the subject enters
the white frame, and then release the
[ ] button.
The previous magnication is now
restored, so that the area within the white
frame lls the screen again.
Some shooting information is not displayed while the camera is
zoomed out.
During movie shooting, the white frame is not displayed if you
press the [
] button. Also note that a changed zoom factor and
camera operating sounds are recorded.
If you prefer to shoot at the zoom factor of the screen in step 1,
press the shutter button all the way down.
You can adjust the zoom factor that the camera reverts to when
you release the [
] button by moving the zoom lever to resize
the white frame while you hold the [
] button.
To adjust the area displayed when the [
] button is pressed,
access MENU (
=
28) ► [ ] tab ► [ Display Area], and
choose one of the three options.
The zoom factor cannot be changed with the [
] button after
you press the shutter button all the way down in self-timer mode
(
=
41).
Moving the zoom lever 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 recording
pixel settings (
=
48), the maximum zoom factor can be
achieved by following step 1.
To deactivate digital zoom, choose MENU (
=
28) ► [ ] tab
► [Digital Zoom] ► [Off].
