Digital Zoom (Advanced User Guide - page 76)
When distant subjects are too far away to enlarge using the optical zoom, use digital zoom for up to about 260x enlargement.
Using the zoom lever or zoom button will show the current position on the zoom bar. The zoom bar is color-coded to indicate the zoom range.
- White range: optical zoom range where the image will not appear grainy.
- Yellow range: digital zoom range where the image is not noticeably grainy (ZoomPlus).
- Blue range: digital zoom range where the image will appear grainy.
No blue range is displayed under certain pixel count settings, and you can zoom in to the maximum level in one zoom operation.
