Using the digital zoom
By using the digital zoom, images can be enlarged so that the subject appears
closer. However, the more the image is enlarged, the grainier the image will
become. The digital zoom function is only available when you set the LCD
monitor and the digital zoom to ON. To capture a digitally zoomed image,
perform the following steps:
1. Open the lens cover, turn the mode dial to
mode, and power on the camera.
2. Turn the LCD monitor on by pressing the
button.
3. Press
OK
to activate 2X digital zoom
function.
■
The 2X icon appears on the LCD monitor.
■
To cancel the digital zoom function, press
OK
again.
4. Press the shutter button to capture a “zoomed” image.
• You can only set the digital zoom at the resolution of 1600x1200 pixels; digital zoom is not
available at the resolution of 800x600 pixels. When you play back a “digitally zoomed” image,
the image size is 800x600 pixels.
• The more the image is enlarged, the more pixilated (grainier) the image.
• Digital zoom cannot be used in the movie mode.
• The digital zoom default setting is zoom off. To turn the digital zoom on, set the camera to
mode, press the menu button and select digital zoom.
