OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Using Digital Zoom
Digital zoom produces a VGA size image (640 x 480 pixels)
that can be double or four times the size of the original im-
age.
Using digital zoom and optical zoom in combination can
zoom an image to 32X.
IMPORTANT!
• The focus range for Auto Focus depends on the opti-
cal zoom setting as shown below.
• The camera may not be able to focus on an image if
the subject is closer than the distances noted above.
Use the macro mode for very close subjects.
• Note that 4X digital zoom produces a relatively
rougher image than OFF or 2X when used in combina-
tion with Auto Focus.
See “Using the Record Menus” on page E-75 for details on
making digital zoom settings.
