Recording
Recording Mode:
Taking Pictures with the Zoom
[You can only use the Optical Zoom in [ ], and the Optical Zoom, the Extended Tele
Conversion in [¿] mode.]
∫ Optical Zoom
You can zoom-out to record landscapes etc. in wide angle (Wide) or zoom-in to make
people and objects appear closer (Tele) by rotating the zoom ring.
∫ Extended Tele Conversion (EX)
To enlarge further, set the [EX. TELE CONV.] in the [REC] menu or the
[MOTION PICTURE] menu to [ON].
•
When the [EX. TELE CONV.] ([REC] menu) is used, set the picture size to [M] or [S] (picture
size with [ ]).
∫ Digital Zoom
Further enlargement is possible by setting the [DIGITAL ZOOM] in the [REC] menu or the
[MOTION PICTURE] menu to [2k] or [4k].
∫ Types of zooms and recording magnification
¢1 When a picture size of [S] (4 M), aspect ratio of [X] is selected.
The magnification level differs depending on [PICTURE SIZE] and [ASPECT RATIO] setting.
¢2 When recording quality setting [
SH] or [HD] is selected.
When [F
SH] is selected, there will be no enlarging with the Extended Tele Conversion (1k).
When [
VGA] or [QVGA] is selected, Extended Tele Conversion factor will change to 4.8.
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] (P141)
setting to the mode you wish to record in.
• When using the Digital Zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P81) for taking
pictures.
• The [EX. TELE CONV.] ([REC] menu) and [DIGITAL ZOOM] are disabled in the following
modes:
– When [QUALITY] is set to [ ], [ ] or [ ]
