Optical Zoom 
Zooming in up to 16 times is possible if pictures without 
 have been selected by 
[Picture Size] on the [Rec] menu. (
 
Extended Optical Zoom 
Zooming in up to 33.8 times is possible when pictures with 
 have been selected by 
[Picture Size] on the [Rec] menu. (
 
Extended Optical Zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
 
• [Intelligent Auto] Mode (when [Motion Deblur] is [ON])
 
• [Macro Zoom]    • Motion picture    • When the [Burst] setting is set to 
 or 
 
• [Transform], [High Sens.], [Flash Burst], [Pin Hole], [Photo Frame] and [High Speed 
Movie] Scene Modes
To increase the zoom ratio further, the following zoom can be used in combination.
 
 i.Zoom 
The camera uses super resolution technology to increase the zoom ratio. Using super 
resolution technology, the zoom ratio can be increased up to about 1.3 times higher 
than the original zoom ratio with almost no deterioration of picture quality. (
 
When [i.Resolution] is set to [i.ZOOM], super resolution technology is applied to the 
picture.
 
The i.Zoom functions in the following cases.
 
• [Intelligent Auto] Mode (except when [Motion Deblur] is [ON])
 
• Scene Modes (except for [Handheld Night Shot], [High Sens.], [Flash Burst], [Pin 
Hole])
 
The [i.ZOOM] does not function when [Burst] is set (when 
 or 
 is set).
 
Digital Zoom 
Zoom 4 times further than Optical/Extended Optical Zoom. Note that, with Digital Zoom, 
enlarging will decrease picture quality. Set the [Digital Zoom] in the [Rec] menu to [ON]. 
(
 
Digital Zoom cannot be used in the following modes:
 
• [Intelligent Auto] Mode    • When the [Burst] setting is set to 
 or 
 
• Scene Modes ([Transform], [Handheld Night Shot], [High Sens.], [Flash Burst], [Pin 
Hole], [Film Grain], [Photo Frame] and [High Speed Movie])
