The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Using the Zoom
Rotate 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.
The side zoom control (A 2) can also be
turned toward g or f to operate the zoom.
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the
monitor when the zoom control is operated.
If you rotate the zoom control or the side
zoom control to g when the camera is
zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, you can use the digital zoom to
magnify the image further by up to 4×.
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
When using the digital zoom, image quality deteriorates when zooming in past
V
.
The position of V is more to the right when shooting smaller images;
therefore, when the image size is smaller (as determined by the image
mode setting; A 65, E31), more digital zoom can be applied without
image quality deterioration.
C When Using a Tripod
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dark conditions with the flash lowered, or when shooting in dark conditions
using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire
- When zooming in on the subject
Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A 96) when using a tripod.
