The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Using the Zoom
Rotate the zoom control to activate the optical zoom.
To zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of
the frame, rotate toward g (telephoto zoom
position).
To zoom out so that the area visible increases in the
frame, rotate toward f (wide-angle position).
Rotating the zoom control all the way in either
direction adjusts the zoom quickly, while rotating
the control partially adjusts the zoom slowly (except
during movie recording).
The zoom can also be operated by rotating the side
zoom control (A2) toward g or f.
The function of the side zoom control can be set in
the Assign side zoom control in the setup menu
(A103).
Amount of zoom is displayed at the top of the
monitor screen when the zoom control is rotated.
Rotating the zoom control toward g at the
maximum optical zoom ratio triggers the digital
zoom and the digital zoom can magnify up to about
2× beyond the maximum magnification of the
optical zoom.
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
When the digital zoom is used, the image quality starts to
deteriorate if the zoom position is increased beyond the V
position on the zoom bar.
The V position moves to the right as the image size (A73)
becomes smaller.
Using Digital zoom in the setup menu (A103), it is possible to set the digital zoom so that it
does not operate.
