IMPORTANT!
• If there is not enough available capacity on the memory card, you may not be able 
to record the number of CS images indicated on the monitor screen. Make sure 
your memory card has sufficient remaining capacity before shooting with using 
continuous shutter.
• With continuous shutter, exposure and focus for the first image are applied for 
successive images as well.
• When using a continuous shutter mode, keep the camera still until shooting is 
finished.
• Continuous shutter cannot be used in combination with any of the following.
– Some BEST SHOT scenes
– Make-up Mode, Landscape Mode
• The speed of “CS: Normal Speed CS” depends on the type of memory card loaded 
in the camera and the amount of free space available for storage. When shooting 
to built-in memory, continuous shutter shooting is relatively slow.
• “CS: Normal Speed CS” speed is slower when shooting with flash.
• You cannot use the self-timer in combination with “CS: Normal Speed CS”, 
“CS: 4 fps”, “CS: 10 fps”.
• Note that images recorded with “CS: 4 fps”, “CS: 10 fps” and “CS: Flash” are of 
somewhat lower resolution and more prone to digital noise than images recorded 
with “CS: Normal Speed CS”.
• The ISO sensitivity setting always is “Auto” for “CS: 4 fps”, “CS: 10 fps” and 
“CS: Flash”, regardless of the camera’s current ISO sensitivity setting.
• The flash range for Flash CS is narrower than that for normal flash.
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band or a pink cast on the 
monitor screen image. This does not indicate malfunction.

Your camera provides you with 10X optical zoom (that changes the lens focal 
distance), which can be used in combination with digital zoom (that digitally 
processes the center portion of the image to enlarge it) for total zoom capabilities of 
10X to 159.4X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 51).
1.In the REC mode, slide the zoom controller to zoom.
2.Press the shutter button to shoot the image.
IMPORTANT!
• Digital zoom is disabled while date stamping (page 137) is turned on.
NOTE
• The higher the digital zoom factor, the coarser the recorded image. Note that the 
camera also has a function that lets you record using digital zoom without image 
deterioration (page 51).
• Use of a tripod is recommended to protect against image blur due to camera 
movement when shooting with telephoto.
• Performing a zoom operation changes the lens aperture.
• Digital zoom only is available during movie recording. You can adjust the optical 
zoom setting before you press [0] (Movie) to start movie recording.
