Caution
Using a tripod to prevent camera shake is recommended.
Time-lapse movies and Creative filters are not available.

A magnified view is not available.
Since Movie digital zoom processes the image digitally, the image will look grainier at higher magnifications. Noise, dots of light, etc. may also become noticeable.
