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 toward
g
(telephoto zoom
position).
• To zoom out so that the area visible increases in the
frame, rotate toward
f
(wide-angle position).
• Rotating the zoom control all the way in either
direction adjusts the zoom quickly, while rotating
the control partially adjusts the zoom slowly (except
during movie recording).
• 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
2× 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 (
A
71)
becomes smaller.
• Using Digital zoom in the setup menu (
A
103), it is possible to set the digital zoom so that it
does not operate.
