Snapshot Tutorial
• The deterioration point depends on
the current image size setting (page
38). The smaller the image size
setting, the higher the zoom factor
you can use before reaching the
image deterioration point.
• Though digital zoom generally
causes a deterioration of image
quality, some digital zoom without
image deterioration is possible with
image sizes of “7M” and smaller. The
range in which you can use digital
zoom without image deterioration is
indicated on the display. The
deterioration point depends on the
image size.
• The maximum zoom factor using optical zoom (page 72) and digital in combination
when “HD/STD” is selected as the movie mode is 318.8X.
• When “HD/STD” is selected as the movie mode, minimal deterioration up to a
zoom factor of 114X is possible only for STD shooting.
• The zoom bar is not displayed while movie recording is in progress.
