• Refer to P64 for aspect ratio settings, P64 

for picture size and P27 for simple mode 
[

].

• “EZ” is an abbreviation of 

[Extended optical Zoom].

• You can further enhance the zoom 

magnification with the extended optical 
zoom without worrying about further 
picture distortion. 

• 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.] in scene mode, the 
extended optical zoom does not work.

A maximum of 24

k zoom can be achieved 

with the 6

k optical zoom and the 4k digital 

zoom when [D.ZOOM] is set to [ON] in the 
[REC] menu. However, if a picture size that 
can use extended optical zoom is selected, 
a maximum of 33

k(DMC-LZ5)/

30

k(DMC-LZ4/DMC-LZ3) zoom can be 

achieved with the 8.3

k(DMC-LZ5)/

7.5

k(DMC-LZ4/DMC-LZ3) extended 

optical zoom and the 4

k digital zoom.
