•

To enlarge the subject: tap

•

To capture a wide area: tap

•

The zoom position is set at the
maximum wide-angle position when
the camera is turned on.

•

A zoom indicator is displayed in the
monitor during zooming.

Digital Zoom

When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, touching
and holding

triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4× the

maximum optical zoom ratio.

The camera focuses at the center of the frame and the focus area is not displayed
when digital zoom is in effect.

Digital Zoom and Interpolation

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as
interpolation to magnify images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture
quality.

Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond

. When zoom is

increased beyond the

position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom

indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied. The
position of

moves to the top as image size decreases, allowing for

confirmation of the zoom positions at which shooting without interpolation is
possible at the current image mode setting (

38).

Digital zoom can be disabled from the

Digital zoom

option (

154) in the

setup menu (

145).
