ZOOM
The zoom function of the ST550(TL225) is quite good as you can see from the picture above. Through the protruding type lens, this camera supports 4.6x optical and 5x digital zoom with 27mm wide angle. Therefore, this can take a wide scene on a picture, and objects at a long distance through 23x zoom (Optical + Digital).
Taking shots with 4.6x optical zoom, the overall color looks a little bit different, but the optical zoom is great enough to be strongly recommended. On the other hand, the digital zoom function degraded the color much as you can see. When taking a shot with the maximum tele zoom, you’d better use the IS function, because the iris value increases. Therefore, I’d like to recommend the optical zoom and cropping the picture rather using the digital zoom.
MACRO
The ST550(TL225) has Normal Macro (Less than 80cm) and Super Macro (Less than 3~8cm). The picture above was taken with the Normal Macro function, and the below one was taken with the Super Macro function.
Especially, when taking a macro shot with AF, the focus sometimes set on the play I didn’t want, so the picture wasn’t good. However, the ST550(TL225) supports One Touch Shot and Smart Touch AF, so you can easily set the focus by directly touching the spot you want.
When taking shots with the Smart Auto Mode, the camera automatically sets a proper function such as Macro or Super Macro, so it provides satisfactory results even for beginners.
This picture was taken with the Photo Style of the ST550(TL225). 10 modes for Photo Style such as Normal, Soft, Vivid, Forest, Retro, Cool, Calm, Classic, Negative, and Custom are supported.
