using the digital processing, creating slightly grainy image.

interpolation in the zoom indicator on the monitor.
The zoom indicator will be yellow when the zooming operation goes beyond V,
and the picture quality in digital zoom begins to degrade.

When the shooting mode is set to Auto Mode (A 31) or Scene Mode (A32), the V position
