To increase the zoom ratio further, the following zoom can be used in combination.
[i.Zoom]
You can use the camera’s Intelligent Resolution technology to increase the zoom ratio
up to 2x higher than the original zoom ratio with limited deterioration of picture quality.
Set the [i.Zoom] in the [Rec] menu to [ON]. (→149)
The camera’s Intelligent Resolution technology is applied to a picture in the zoom
range of [i.Zoom].
[i.Zoom] always functions in [Intelligent Auto] mode and [Scene Mode] (except
[Handheld Night Shot], [HDR], [High Sens.], [3D Photo Mode]).
[i.Zoom] does not function in the following cases:
• [Macro Zoom]
• When the [Burst] setting is set to [ ] or [ ]

simultaneously with [i.Zoom], you can only increase the zoom ratio up to 2x.
