∫ Picture size and maximum zoom 

(

±: Available, —: Not available)

∫ Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [

] 

(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 12M 
(12.2 million pixels) CCD area is cropped to 
the center 3M (3 million pixels) area, 
allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.

• The optical zoom is set to Wide (1

k) 

when the camera is turned on.

• If you use the zoom function after focusing 

on the subject, focus on the subject again.

• The lens barrel extends or retracts 

according to the zoom position. Take care 
not to interrupt the motion of the lens 
barrel while the zoom lever is rotated.

• In motion picture mode [

], the zoom 

magnification is fixed to the value set at 
the start of recording.

• “EZ” is an abbreviation of 

“Extended optical Zoom”.

• If you set a picture size that activates the 

extended optical zoom, the extended 
optical zoom icon [

] is displayed on the 

screen when you use the zoom function.

• The zoom will stop moving for an instant 

near [W] (1

k) when the extended optical 

zoom is used. This is not a malfunction.

• The indicated zoom magnification is an 

approximation.

• In motion picture mode [

] and 

[HIGH SENS.] or [HI-SPEED BURST] in 
scene mode, the extended optical zoom 
does not work.

You can zoom at high speed from Wide to 
Tele by pressing [E.ZOOM].
The zoom magnification differs depending 
on the picture size that is set.
