The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Using the Zoom
Rotate the zoom control to activate the optical
zoom.
• To zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of
the frame, rotate the zoom control toward
g
(telephoto zoom position).
• To zoom out so that the area visible increases in
the frame, rotate the zoom control toward f
(wide-angle position).
• Amount of zoom is displayed at the top of the monitor
screen when the zoom control is rotated.
• Rotating the zoom control toward g at the maximum
optical zoom ratio triggers the digital zoom and the
digital zoom can magnify up to about 4× beyond the
maximum magnification of the optical zoom.
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
• When the digital zoom is used, the image quality starts to
deteriorate if the zoom position is increased beyond the V
position on the zoom bar.
The V position moves to the right as the image size (A62)
becomes smaller.
• Using Digital zoom in the setup menu (A96), it is possible to set the digital zoom so that it does
not operate.
