What is the 
difference 
between the 
digital zoom and 
the optical zoom?

—

Because shooting 
with the optical 
zoom uses the 
optics of a physical 
lens, you can shoot 
without losing 
minute details in the 
image. The digital 
zoom, on the other 
hand, works by 
magnifying a portion 
of the image that 
hits the image 
sensor and may 
produce a coarser 
image.

How can I get the 
distant view into 
focus?

—

Set the scene select 
function to the 
landscape + 
mode when 
photographing.
Or, set the focus 
range setting to 
manual focus -, 
and set the distance 
to 

∞

.

The video clip 
appears to freeze 
for an instant.

The ZOOM 
RANGE button 
was pressed 
during video clip 
recording.

Not a malfunction. 
During the very brief 
span that the zoom 
lens is changing, the 
recording appears 
as a still image.

The zoom range 
does not change 
when the ZOOM 
RANGE button is 
pressed.

The ZOOM 
RANGE button 
was pressed while 
the digital zoom 
was engaged.

Not a malfunction. 
Use the optical 
zoom. The zoom 
range cannot be 
changed while the 
digital zoom is 
engaged.
