 Zoom types and use
 Optical Zoom:
 You can zoom in without degrading the picture quality.
 Maximum magnification: 3x
 
 Extra optical zoom:
 This function works when picture sizes with [   ] have been selected in [Picture 
Size]. Extra optical zoom allows you to zoom in using a higher zoom ratio than 
optical zoom, without degrading the picture quality.
 Maximum magnification: 6x
 
  Including the optical zoom ratio. The maximum zoom ratio varies depending on the picture 
size.
 
 [i.Zoom]:
 You can use the camera’s intelligent resolution technology to increase the zoom 
ratio up to 2x higher than the original zoom ratio with limited deterioration of 
picture quality. (Up to 1.5x the original zoom ratio when [Picture Size] is set to 
[S]) Set the [i.Zoom] in the [Rec] menu to [ON].
 
 [Digital Zoom]:
 Zoom 4x further than Optical/Extra optical zoom. When [Digital Zoom] is used 
simultaneously with [i.Zoom], you can only increase the zoom ratio up to 2x. 
Note that, with Digital Zoom, enlarging will decrease picture quality. Set the 
[Digital Zoom] in the [Rec] menu to [ON].
 
•  When [Live View Mode] is set to [ECO 30fps], Digital Zoom is not 
available (default setting).
