The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Digital Zoom
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, rotating and holding
the zoom control or the side zoom control toward g triggers digital zoom.
Digital zoom can magnify the subject up to about 4× beyond the maximum magnification of
the optical zoom.
• When you are using digital zoom, the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the
frame and the focus area is not displayed.

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 picture quality according to the image mode (A62) and
digital zoom magnification.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V when taking still pictures. 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
position at which shooting without interpolation is possible at the current image mode setting.
