Adjusting Zoom
You can adjust the zoom of an image while recording with the Out-camera. Up to
about 3x optical zoom can be used. When the zoom magnification is exceeded,
you can record an image using the digital zoom. Moreover, the Smart zoom function
does not degrade the quality of the image while recording even if the maximum
magnification of the optical zoom is exceeded. The maximum magnification of Smart
zoom changes depending on the settings of the image size or when the Shoot mode
is set to [High sensitivity]. The zoom magnifications which can be adjusted at each
image size are follows.
