SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
● Zoom Values for Each Image Size
• The image deterioration point depends on the image size
(page 68). The smaller the image size, 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 “8M (3264 × 2448 pixels)” 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.
■ Turning Off Digital Zoom
You can turn off digital zoom if you want to use optical zoom
only. This will help to avoid deteriorated images due to
accidentally switching over from optical zoom to digital zoom
when shooting snapshots.
1. In a REC mode, press [MENU].
2. On the “REC” tab, select “Digital Zoom” and
then press [X].
3. Use [S] and [T] to select “Off” and then press
[SET].
• If you want to show the entire digital zoom range, select
