• Zoom Feature
There are two types of zoom in this camera: optical zoom and digital
zoom. Optical zoom alters the focal distance of the lens zoom, and its
factor range is 1X to 3X. Digital zoom is activated after you reach the
maximum optical zoom (3X). It enlarges the part of the image at the
centre of the image screen. Digital zoom factor range is 1X to 4X.
These zoom features let you zoom in the central area of an image and
photograph only the enlarged portion of the picture.
NOTE:
• For the digital zoom feature, the viewnder does not reect the actual
zoomed image. We recommend the user to use the LCD screen to monitor the
zoomed feature.
• Using the digital zoom may cause a decrease in image quality.
