The Basics of Shooting and Playback
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)
• 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 4× 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.
