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 14 M (equivalent to 14.1 million pixels) area, meaning
that the picture can be enlarged further.
The zoom ratio and the zoom bar displayed on the screen are estimates.
In certain Recording Modes, “Tele macro” function (42) 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:
[Macro Zoom], motion picture, [Transform], [High Sens.], [Hi-Speed Burst], [Flash
Burst], [Pin Hole], and [Photo Frame] Scene Modes
Digital Zoom cannot be used in the following modes:
([Intelligent Auto] Mode), Scene Modes ([Transform], [High Sens.], [Hi-Speed Burst],
[Flash Burst], [Pin Hole], [Film Grain] and [Photo Frame])
[Zoom Resume] allows zoom ratio to be memorised even if power is turned off.
