About HD extra optical zoom
Among the valid pixels of the MOS image sensor, the central part of approx. 0.92 megapixels (equivalent to the image capture size of 1280x720) is extracted for shooting. That enables shooting with a higher zooming effect when the image capture size of 1280x720 or lower is used.

Note
•
When “On” is selected for the digital zoom, zooming will stop once right before the zoom factor is shifting to the digital zoom.
