Snapshot Tutorial
• The image deterioration point
depends on the image size (page
33). 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 “8M” 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.
