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 
3X to 45.2X. The image deterioration point depends on the image size (page 44).

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 43).
• 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 the shutter button to start movie recording.
If you hold the zoom controller towards z (Telephoto), the zoom operation will stop 
when the optical zoom factor reaches its maximum. Momentarily releasing the zoom 
controller and then holding it again towards z (Telephoto) will switch to digital 
zoom, which you can use to set an even higher zoom factor.
• During zoom, a zoom bar on the monitor screen shows the current zoom setting.

• The image deterioration point 
depends on the image size (page 
30). The smaller the image size, 
the higher the zoom factor you 
can use before reaching the 
image deterioration point.
• Though digital zoom generally 
causes a deterioration of image 
quality, some digital zoom 
without image deterioration is 
possible with image sizes of “8M” 
and smaller. The range in which 
you can use digital zoom without 
image deterioration is indicated 
on the display. The deterioration 
point depends on the image size.Image

NOTE
• Spending a long time using movie recording will cause the camera to become 
slightly warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• The camera also records audio. Note the following points 
when shooting a movie.
– Take care that the microphone is not blocked by your 
fingers, etc.
– Good recording results are not possible when the camera 
is too far away from what you are trying to record.
– Operating camera buttons while shooting can cause 
button noise to be picked up in the audio.
• Shooting a very bright subject can cause a vertical band to 
appear in the monitor screen image. This does not indicate 
malfunction. The band will not be recorded in a snapshot, but will be recorded in 
the case of a movie.
• Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record movies, 
which can cause movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by » and Y 
flashing on the monitor screen. To avoid loss of movie frames, use of a memory 
card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended 
(page 126).
• Only digital zoom can be used for zooming during movie recording. Since optical 
zoom is not possible while recording a movie, zoom as required before pressing 
[0] to start recording.
• The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you 
shoot close up or with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is 
recommended under these conditions.
• Auto Focus and Macro Focus become fixed focus while shooting a movie (page 
54).

different types of shooting conditions. When you need to change the setup of the

images due to poor exposure and shutter speed settings.

SHOT scenes.

you want to select.

the currently selected scene. See 
page 50 for details.
• To return to normal snapshot recording, select Scene 1 R (Auto). Pressing 
[MENU] while the scene selection screen or scene information screen is 
displayed will cause the boundary to jump directly to R (Auto).
