Extended optical zoom mechanism
When you set the picture size to [
]
(3M EZ) (3 million pixels), the 6M (6 million
pixels) CCD area is cropped to the center
3M (3 million pixels) area, allowing a
picture with a higher zoom effect.
• Refer to P67 for aspect ratio settings, P67 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
M
) 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 14.6
M
zoom can be
achieved with the 3.6
M
optical zoom and
the 4
M
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 20
M
zoom
can be achieved with the 5
M
extended
optical zoom and the 4
M
digital zoom.
