Question
What is the
difference
between the
digital zoom and
the optical zoom?
Shooting
How can I get the
distant view into
focus?
Answer
— 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.
— 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
Action
.
