Taking pictures with zoom
You can zoom in up to 10 times with ‘optical zoom’, and up to 16.9 (DMC-TZ4/DMC-
TZ11: 15.9) times with ‘Extra optical zoom’ with lower picture quality. You can also use
‘digital zoom’ to zoom in even further.

Adjust the focus after adjusting the zoom.
Do not block the lens barrel movement
while zooming.
The enlargement ratio displayed in the bar on screen is an estimate.
In certain recording modes, TELE MACRO function (P.40) is activated when maximum
zoom ratio is reached.
A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures of
close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more colouring appearing
around the outlines of objects.
The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated
– this is not a fault.
Extra optical zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
(MOTION PICTURE mode), ‘HIGH SENS.’, ‘HI-SPEED BURST’, and ‘MULTI
ASPECT’ (DMC-TZ5/DMC-TZ15 only) scene modes
When using extra optical zoom, zoom movement may stop momentarily near maximum
W (1x), but this is not a fault.
‘ZOOM RESUME’ (P.25) allows zoom ratio to be memorised even if power is turned off.
E.ZOOM
Optical zoom and extra optical zoom (EZ)
Automatically switches to ‘optical zoom’ when using maximum picture size (P.55), and
to ‘extra optical zoom’ (for further zooming) otherwise. (EZ is short for ‘extra optical
zoom’.)

What is Extra optical zoom (EZ)?
If, for example, set to ‘3M (equivalent to 3 million pixels), a picture will only be
taken of a 3M-sized central part of a 9 M (equivalent to 9.1 million pixels)
