    COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS 
    Question Answer Action
    ShootingWhat is the 
    difference 
    between the 
    digital zoom and 
    the optical zoom?— 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 
    CCD sensor and 
    may produce a 
    coarser image.
    How can I get the 
    distant view into 
    focus?— Set the focus 
    range to infinity 
    .
    How can I take 
    photos using slow 
    synchro?—1Set the scene 
    select setting 
    to night view 
    . 
    2Set the flash 
    mode to a 
    mode other 
    than flash off 
    . 
    iIn the forced 
    flash  
    mode, slow 
    synchro 
    shooting is 
    ensured.
    The video clip I 
    shot outdoors is 
    completely white.— Set the flicker-
    reduction setting 
    to off  .
