The Basics of Shooting and Playback
B Notes About Easy Auto Mode
• Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this
case, select another shooting mode (A30, 35, 37, 39).
• When the digital zoom is in effect, the scene mode changes to U.
C When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.
- When shooting in dim lighting
- When the flash is lowered or when using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire
- When using the telephoto setting
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration reduction to Off in
the setup menu (A69) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Using the Zoom
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens position
changes.
• To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward g(telephoto)
• To zoom out and view a larger area: Move toward
f(wide-angle)
When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the
maximum wide-angle position.
• The zoom operates quickly when you rotate the zoom
control fully (except when recording movies).
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor
when the zoom control is moved.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the
subject up to approximately 2× the maximum optical
zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the
zoom control toward g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom
position.
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to
interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position. The
position of V moves to the right as the size of an image decreases.
