 • Optical Zoom      :  Changes the lens focal distance. 
                                     The range for this type of zoom is from the left edge of the zoom bar up to the 
                                     up mark.

 • HD Zoom             :  Allows greater zoom capabilities by cutting out a portion of the original image
                                     and enlarging it.
                                     The range for this type of zoom is from the zoom bar up mark up to the red line.

 • Single SR Zoom :  Single SR Zoom expands the zoom ratio in a way that minimizes image deterioration. 
                                      The range for this type of zoom is from the zoom bar up mark up to the red line.

• Multi SR Zoom     :  Shoots a burst of High Speed CS images, which are then combined into a final
                                     image to suppress image quality deterioration across a range that is greater than
                                     Single SR Zoom. The range for this type of zoom is from the zoom bar up mark up
                                     to the red line.                 

• Digital Zoom         :  Digitally processes the center of the image to enlarge it.

                                      Remember that digital zoom causes deterioration of image quality.
                                      Digital zoom is enabled (on) under initial factory default settings.
                                      The range for this type of zoom is from the red line of the zoom bar up to its right
                                      edge. 

When the image size is 16M, zooming up to 12.5X optical zoom (18.8X in combination with Single SR Zoom,
up to 25.0X in combination with Multi SR Zoom) is supported. When recording at VGA size, maximum zoom
is 199.3X for optical zoom in combination with Multi SR Zoom and digital zoom.

To enable Single SR Zoom, select "Auto" with the mode dial and then press [MENU].
On the REC tab, select "Single" for the "Zoom (SR)" setting.
If you want to Shoot with Multi SR Zoom, which produces images of even better texture, set the mode dial to
"Multi SR Zoom". Optical zoom, HD Zoom, and digital zoom can be used regardless of the current Single SR
Zoom or Multi SR Zoom setting.

NOTE
• The value shown by the zoom bar is the maximum zoom factor for optical zoom (including HD zoom).
  In the case of Single SR Zoom and Multi SR Zoom, the value indicates the maximum zoom factor for
  the type of zoom being used. Values do not include digital zoom factors.
• Single SR Zoom is disabled while shooting with the following features.

• Single SR Zoom is disabled while Multi SR Zoom is in use, so the flash setting automatically turns off.
