Using the Digital Zoom -------------------------------------------------------------
While you can use the super resolution zoom to enlarge the subject, the digital
zoom allows you to enlarge the subject still further (up to another 4.8 × for still
images, 2.8 × for movies with a frame size of 1280, or 4.0 × for movies with a
frame size of 640).
To use the digital zoom, turn and hold the zoom lever
toward
z
until the maximum magnification is reached
on the zoom bar, then momentarily release the zoom
lever, and then turn the zoom lever again toward
z
.
When using the digital zoom, the symbol appears
on the picture display and the zoom ratio is displayed in
yellow. If [Picture Quality/Size] is set to
j
4 : 3 F or
j
4 : 3 N, you can also set [Digital Zoom Image] to [Auto
Resize] (
G
P.121).
Depending on the shooting mode or the settings in the shooting menu, the
digital zoom cannot be used (
G
P.144).
Shooting Close-Ups (Macro Shooting)
The macro shooting function lets you take
shots of subjects that are very close to the
camera. To shoot close-ups, push the ADJ./
OK button toward
N
(Macro). Pushing the
ADJ./OK button toward
N
(Macro) again
cancels macro mode.
Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• During macro shooting, the minimum shooting distance changes depending
on the zoom position. To display the minimum shooting distance on the screen,
set [Minimum Distance] to [Show] (
G
P.118).
• [Focus] (
G
P.68) is set to [Spot AF].
• Macro mode is not available in some shooting modes (
G
P.144).
• To take a further close-up picture during macro shooting, use [Zoom Macro]
(

P.51) in scene mode.
