C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify
images, resulting in slight deterioration of image quality.
Interpolation is applied when taking still images at zoom positions beyond V.
When zoom is increased beyond the V position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator
turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied.
T
he position of V moves to the right as image size decreases, allowing you to confirm the zoom
positions at which still images can be captured without interpolation using the current image mode
setting.
When the image size is small.
