(1)When [E.ZOOM] is pressed again, zooming proceeds as far as the maximum zoom position ofthe extended optical zoom. (2)The colors of the zoom bars and the picture size change, and the picture size changestemporarily as shown below.∫ To return to Wide using the easy zoom• Zooming returns at high speed as far as Wide.Using the Easy zoomPress [E.ZOOM].A Optical zoomB Extended optical zoomC Digital zoomAspect ratio Picture sizeX [ ]>[ ]Y [ ]>[ ]W [ ]>[ ]Press [E.ZOOM] at Tele.A BTW1 2CTW
