Basic Steps for Shooting and Playback
C Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (A45) is set to W (Off).
- When using the telephoto setting.
• Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A74) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the
camera during shooting.
Using the Zoom
Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.
• To zoom in closer to the subject, rotate the zoom
control to g (telephoto).
• To zoom out and view a larger area, rotate the zoom
control to f (wide-angle).
When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to
the maximum wide-angle position.
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the
monitor when the zoom control is rotated.
• Digital zoom, which allows you to magnify the
subject up to approximately 4× beyond the
maximum magnification of the optical zoom, can
be activated by rotating and holding the zoom control to 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. Since the position of V moves to the right as the
size of an image decreases, selecting a smaller image size in
the image mode setting (A53) allows you to zoom in
further without decreasing the image quality due to
interpolation.
