Using the Zoom
Rotate the zoom control to activate optical zoom.
•
To zoom in closer to the subject, rotate the zoom
control to
g
(telephoto).
•
To zoom out and view a larger area, rotate the zoom
control to
f
(wide-angle).
When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the
maximum wide-angle position.
•
The zoom operates quickly when you rotate the zoom
control fully, and operates slowly when you rotate the
zoom control partially (except when recording movies).
•
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is rotated.
•
If you rotate the zoom control to
g
when the camera is
zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, you
can use the digital zoom to magnify the image by up to 2×.
B
Easy Auto Mode
•
Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this
case, select another shooting mode (
A
37, 46, 48, 51).
•
When the digital zoom is in effect, the scene mode changes to
U
.
C
When Using a Tripod
•
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dark conditions with the flash lowered, or when shooting in dark conditions
using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire
- When zooming in on the subject
•
Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (
A
98) when using a tripod.

Digital Zoom and Interpolation
When using the digital zoom, image quality deteriorates when zooming
in past
V
in the zoom indicator.
The position of
V
is more to the right when shooting smaller images;
therefore, when the image size is smaller (as determined by the image
mode setting;
A
64,
E
39), more digital zoom can be applied without
image quality deterioration.
