toward f
When you turn the camera on, the zoom
moves to the maximum wide-angle
position.

shooting screen when the zoom control is
moved.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to further
magnify the subject up to approximately 4×
the maximum optical zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding
the zoom control toward g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum
optical zoom position.

The zoom indicator changes to blue when the digital zoom is activated, and it
changes to yellow when the zoom magnification is increased further.

Dynamic Fine Zoom.
• Zoom indicator is yellow: There may be cases in which image quality is noticeably
reduced.
• The indicator remains blue across a wider area when the image size is smaller.
