Digital zoom
DSC-P71/P51
When the Zoom exceeds 3x for the
DSC-P71 and 2x for the DSC-P51, the
digital zoom feature enlarges the image
up to a maximum of 6x using digital
processing. Because picture quality
deteriorates when digital zoom is used,
set [DIGITAL ZOOM] in SET UP to
[OFF] when this feature is not needed
(page 97).

The DSC-P31 does not have an optical
zoom. It has only a 3x digital zoom.
There is no Digital zoom item in SET
