Using the Zoom Features
The zoom features let you move in closer on subjects that
are located far from the camera. You can choose either opti-
cal zoom or digital zoom, or even use them in combination to
increase the size of the original image by 16 or 32 times its
original size.
Using Optical Zoom
Optical zoom enlarges the image by changing the focal dis-
tance of the lens.
You can increase the size of the image by eight times using
optical zoom.
