About the zoom speed
The zoom speed will be faster in the order of zoom lever, zoom button icon, and then touch
zoom.
The zoom speed varies depending on the range over which the zoom lever is moved.
The zoom operation using the zoom button icons or touch zoom will be performed at a
constant speed respectively.
Extra optical zoom
When in still picture recording mode, it is possible to take a picture with zoom up to a
maximum of 60k without degrading the picture quality.
Extra optical zoom ratio varies depending on the setting of [PICTURE SIZE]. (l 60)
Extra optical zoom mechanism
For example when you set the picture size to [ 0.3M], the maximum [ 2.6M] area is
cropped to the centre [ 0.3M] area, allowing a picture with a higher zoom effect.
If you take your finger off the zoom lever during zoom operation, the operation sound may
be recorded. When returning the zoom lever to the original position, move it quietly.
When the zoom magnification is at its maximum, the subjects are focused at about 1.6 m
or more.
When the zoom magnification is 1k, this unit can focus on a subject approx. 3 cm away
from the lens.
