Notes About Easy Auto Mode
•
Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this
case, select another shooting mode (
A
30, 35, 37, 39).
•
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 dim lighting
- When the flash is lowered or when using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire
- When using the telephoto setting
•
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration reduction to Off in
the setup menu (
A
69) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens position
changes.
•
To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward
g
(telephoto)
•
To zoom out and view a larger area: Move toward
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 (except when recording movies).
•
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is moved.
•
Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the
subject up to approximately 2× the maximum optical
zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the
zoom control toward
g
when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom
position.
C
Digital Zoom and Interpolation
While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to
interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the
V
position. The
position of
V
moves to the right as the size of an image decreases.
