Using optical zoom

Use optical zoom to get up to 5X closer to your subject while taking pictures/videos. Optical zoom is effective when the lens is no closer than 24 in. (60 cm) to the subject or 7.9 in. (20 cm) in Close-up mode.

  1. Use the LCD to frame your subject. For focus distances, see Camera specifications.

  2. Press Telephoto (T) to zoom in. Press Wide Angle (W) to zoom out.

    The zoom indicator shows zoom status.

  3. Take the picture or video.

Using the digital zoom

Use digital zoom to get up to 5X beyond optical zoom while taking pictures. Press Telephoto (T) to the maximum optical zoom. Release the button, then press it again.

NOTE: You may notice decreased image quality when using digital zoom. The slider on the zoom indicator turns red when the picture quality reaches the limit for an acceptable 4 x 6-in. (10 x 15 cm) print.
