Menu Position MENU  3  Zoom Setting

What It Does Enables one of two “Digital Zoom and Upsize” features

Recommended Setting “Optical Zoom Only” if you’re an image quality
snob. If you’re just a tourist taking snapshots, or you’re shooting movies, go
for “Digital Zoom” feature which offers the longer reach.

You can think of this feature as being the “on-off” switch for MENU 
6  Zoom. Here you can specify one of three states:

1. Optical Zoom only – kind of self-explanatory.
2. On:ClearImage Zoom
3. On: Digital Zoom
2 and 3 do essentially the same thing; except the Digital Zoom can be more
aggressive and the resulting picture quality isn’t quite as good (but you
have to pixel peep to see a difference).
You can read much more about this feature in Section 5.26.
