Interpreting the Zoom Bar
During a zoom operation, a zoom bar appears on the monitor screen to show the
current zoom setting.
.
Zoom Factor
The digital zoom factor depends on the image size (page 121), the super resolution
zoom setting, and on whether or not “Multi SR Zoom” is selected (page 60).
• Multi SR Zoom is enabled only when the “Multi SR Zoom” BEST SHOT scene is
selected.
