Snapshot Tutorial
• The image deterioration point 
depends on the image size (page 
34). The smaller the image size, 
the higher the zoom factor you 
can use before reaching the 
image deterioration point.
• Though digital zoom generally 
causes a deterioration of image 
quality, some digital zoom 
without image deterioration is 
possible with image sizes of 
“10M” and smaller. The range in 
which you can use digital zoom 
without image deterioration is 
indicated on the display. The 
deterioration point depends on 
the image size.
