Panasonic DMC-LS60 User Guide

VQT1C63

You can make people and subjects appear 
closer with the 3 times optical zoom, and 
landscapes can be recorded in wide angle. 
(35 mm fi lm camera equivalent: 35 mm to 
105 mm)
To zoom even more (up to 4.5 times with 
DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70) with no reduction 
in picture quality, choose any resolution for 
each of the available aspect ratios except 
the largest one.

■ To make subjects appear closer use 

■ To make subjects appear further 

■ How the extended optical zoom 

works
The extended optical zoom works by 
extracting the center of the picture and 
expanding it for a higher telephoto 
effect. So, for example, if you choose 
[

] (3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 7M 

(7 million) (DMC-LS75/DMC-LS70) or 
6M (6 million) (DMC-LS60) 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 ×) 

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 (P9) 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 [

i], the zoom 

magnifi cation is fi xed to the value set at 
the start of recording.
