The Basics of Shooting and Playback
C When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.
- When shooting in dim lighting
- When shooting with the flash mode (A49) set to W (off)
- When using the telephoto setting
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off
in the setup menu (A76) 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.
• A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of
the shooting screen 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 Notes About Digital Zoom
The zoom indicator turns blue when the digital zoom is activated, and it turns yellow
when the zoom magnification is increased further.
• Zoom indicator is blue: Image quality is not noticeably reduced by using the
Dynamic Fine Zoom.
• Zoom indicator is yellow: Image quality is noticeably reduced.
• The indicator remains blue across a wider area when the image size is smaller.
